Young Live Well: Living Well with Asthma is a new healthy lifestyles programme for children and young people in the East Riding.
The free 12-week programme is designed for young people aged 10 to 18 years old with asthma who may be less active or feel that their asthma is a barrier to exercise.
The programme launches from May 2026 at the council’s leisure centres at East Riding Leisure Hornsea and Goole, with another cohort to follow at East Riding Leisure Bridlington from September 2026.
Health professionals and schools can submit a referral on behalf of a young person by completing this form and emailing it to healthy lifestyle development officer: kirsty.forrester@eastriding.gov.uk
The sessions – Mondays 4-5pm – combine a 15-minute interactive education component, helping participants understand their asthma, build confidence and learn how to manage symptoms effectively, followed by a 45-minute guided exercise session tailored to individual ability levels.
The programme aims to create a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment where young people can gradually increase their physical activity, improve their fitness and develop the skills and confidence to Live Well with Asthma.
Please note, this is not a clinical service, it is a complimentary service which does not replace specialist services such as GPs, dietitians and asthma specialists.
