Do you know what the Hustle is about?

The Health & Hustle launched in 2016 and was set up to create an active environment, encouraging and supporting staff to be more active in the workplace.  Making small changes in the workplace has been successful in creating a positive mood and is embedded as part of the health and well-being programmes in the workplace.

The success of the Hustle has been recognised for its achievements; however, the biggest reward is seeing the personal achievements being achieved by staff who have made life changing and healthy transformation. This programme is open to everyone who wants to be active and includes patient groups who want to get active as part of their recovery or managing their condition.  The Hustle is not looking for record breakers or athletes and we celebrate everyone’s success no matter how small it is.

The successful use of social media and building the NHS Fitbit community in Gloucestershire has allowed the initiative to reach out across Gloucestershire and beyond the county boundary lines, allowing everyone to join in with our active family using virtual challenges.  This has helped with motivation and provided a network for collaboration within the groups.

Recognised in the Gloucestershire health and social care awards and winning the exemplary service improvement in health at the Gloucestershire NHS70 awards, has put the Health & Hustle on the Active Gloucestershire road map.  Continue to follow us as we continue to promote the activity.
