‘DG Doing More’ is a locally developed campaign aiming to encourage the population of Dumfries and Galloway to be more physically active.
The campaign promotes local people being physically active in local places.
#MayActive20 Toolkit – May 2023
We have two record sheet designs which you can use to keep track of your daily physical activity, or design your own and share it with us using #MayActive20!
You can also use these graphics to promote #MayActive20 to your friends, family and colleagues. Everyone feels better when they’re active!
