This document should be completed in consultation with the supporting guidance. Dependent on this initial assessment you may need to go on to complete a full Climate Change Impact Assessment. The final document will be published as part of the decision-making process.

Reason for decision |
This is a virtual membership that gives existing and new customers access to online health support for GP, nutrition, physio, Mental Health and workouts. As this is a virtual membership and supplements to the core membership package, we wont envisage any impact due to the remote nature of the offer. |
