The British Heart Foundation National Centre for Physical Activity and Health have recently updated and extended their Active For Later Life Toolkit, which aims to help and support everyone involved in developing physical activity programmes for older people of all ages and abilities (including those in midlife).  The toolkit was originally published in 2003, but has now been updated and made available as a web based resource.

• Section 1 - Making the case for physical activity and older people
• Section 2 - Factors affecting planning
• Section 3 - A guide to programme planning
• Section 4 - Working papers
• Section 5 - Putting it into practice
• Section 6 - Information directory
