The Active Travel Care Co-Ordinators will work in three areas of the City to support the role out of the ATSP programme. The Active Travel Care Co-Ordinators will be the main point of contact for GPs and patients about the walking and cycling support offer funded by the ATSP programme in each project area.

The walking and cycling activities provided by the ATSP programme will focus on supporting:
· Level 1: People at risk of low healthy life expectancy through family-friendly walking and cycling activities in the community to support parents/carers with young children to become more active.
· Level 2: People experiencing low mental health or social isolation through one to one and small group activities such as walk and cycle buddies, cycle training and group walks and rides to build confidence and overcome social isolation.
Level 3: Patients attending Nottingham University Hospital’s clinics with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and for people with gestational diabetes through walk and talk clinics to make active lifestyle choices to help to manage their condition and improve their health and wellbeing.
· Level 4: Active travel taster sessions for GPs and social prescribers to build understanding of the benefits of walking and cycling.
