Lakes District Health Board (Lakes DHB) and Pinnacle Incorporated (Pinnacle) wishes to purchase a physical activity programme for people living in Taupō & Tūrangi whose health could be improved by regular exercise. This programme is usually referred to as a ‘Green Prescription’ (GRx) as it is a health professional's written advice to a patient and/or their family to encourage and support them becoming more physically active and eat healthier as part of a total health plan. However, we want to extend access beyond general practice and would like a physical activity programme that can accept warm hand-overs from a range of health and social service providers.

We need a service that takes a whānau centred approach (i.e. is not restricted to adults), is designed in collaboration with Māori partners, serves the Taupō and Tūrangi communities, and delivers meaningful outcomes.
