A celebration of activity, creativity and the people who deliver it.
National Activity Providers and Professionals Week is an annual UK wide celebration recognising the vital role of Activity Providers and Professionals across care and support services.
Activity Providers make an extraordinary difference every day. Through creativity, compassion and skill, they support individuals to stay connected, express themselves and experience joy, purpose and belonging. This week shines a spotlight on their contribution and celebrates the professionalism, innovation and dedication that defines activity provision.
Throughout the week, NAPA brings the sector together through shared learning, inspiration and celebration. It is an opportunity to recognise achievement, share ideas and strengthen the identity and voice of Activity Providers and Professionals across the UK.
National Activity Providers and Professionals Week is for everyone involved in activity and engagement, whether working in care homes, community services, hospitals, homecare or other support settings.
