Welcome to the North East Physical Activity Forum’s (NEPAF) website, which we hope will become the central communication resource for Physical Activity in the region. Resources will include regular e-bulletins, feedback and presentations from CPD events, key documents and a key dates section listing forum meeting dates and other physical activity related events – all contributing to NEPAF’s main aim:
“To bring together those with an interest in physical activity and health in order to improve and co-ordinate service delivery and professional development.”
Membership of NEPAF is free, if you wish to become a member and receive regular e-bulletins please contact janet.burns@sportengland.org
