AcT1vate is a residential weekend dedicated to helping you, your partner - or your patients with type 1 diabetes - get the most out of exercise. Exercise is essential for good health, but there are many things that get in the way for people with type 1. Let's get them out of the way!

The AcT1vate program is specifically for people with type 1 diabetes to learn, or enhance their knowledge, about how to integrate exercise safely into their lives. AcT1vate brings together some of the most knowledgeable and accomplished experts and type 1 competitors. Varying levels of knowledge and experience are accommodated - you don't need to be an athlete, or even exercising already. AcT1vate is the ideal way for people living with type 1 diabetes to take the first bold steps to better health.

It is also a weekend to share your own experiences and meet others with type 1 diabetes and those who support them. The environment is one of sharing nd learning, but above all is relaxed, enjoyable and fun!

'Pushing the barriers, planting seeds...'
