Your action plan

Enjoying your favourite activity and getting to know others in your community can improve your wellbeing, regardless of your ability. Whether you love to be creative or sporty, whether you are naturally chatty or love to get your hands dirty, there are many opportunities to try new things, meet new people, and get involved. The Peterborough Information Network includes details of events happening locally which can help you make these connections.

This guide is designed to help support you to live independently. Many people enjoy activities and use equipment or services to help them do this. Please use your action plan to note down the steps you want to take, including useful resources to help you get there. Then follow your plan to get the support that is right for you and your family. Support to help you live independently begins on page 6.
