Fitness Pioneers is a volunteer training programme for people with a disability or chronic health condition.  Volunteers train as sports coaches or fitness leaders and, once qualified, lead Fit for Life sport and exercise sessions for other disabled or seriously ill people.  This boosts their own self-esteem as they inspire their peers to participate.

If you have a disability or chronic health condition that means you are finding it hard to access education or return to work, Fitness Pioneers may offer you a way of preparing you for the next step.

Thanks to a grant from Sport Relief, 10 volunteers completed the Fitness Pioneers programme in 2008/9.
