Evaluating Impact: Supporting Physical Activity for People Living with Chronic Conditions

At S3 Solutions, we were pleased to support this initiative by delivering the programme evaluation on behalf of Sport Ireland and the Department of Health. Through primary and secondary data analysis, our findings highlighted strong engagement across the programme, with the majority of participants reporting improvements in both physical and mental wellbeing. The success of this pilot provides a practical framework for guiding future implementation and scale-up of PAFH nationally. We also saw increased confidence among individuals in maintaining an active lifestyle, reinforcing the long-term value of structured and supported activity.

The wider initiative, as highlighted by Sport Ireland, demonstrates the growing impact of connecting healthcare services with community-based physical activity opportunities. With thousands of participants engaged nationwide, the programme is helping to create clearer pathways into activity for people living with chronic conditions. The positive outcomes reflected in the evaluation underline the importance of continued investment in collaborative, evidence-based approaches to improving public health.
