As the days get shorter and weather colder, we all need a bit of motivation to get out and about. What better time of year for a nationwide event to promote fitness - check out this website for more information on National Fitness Day on Wednesday 22nd September.
Let's remind ourselves of these benefits of exercise for our health:
- Increases energy levels
- Reduces risk of chronic disease
- Helps with relaxation and sleep quality
- Improves mood and reduces feelings of anxiety and depression
We have a range of activities to get you out and about and meet like-minded people in the local community within our Healthy Living Programme. |

What I like most about Men's Group:
- How it gives a space to listen, talk, think and reflect.
- The support that simply being in the group provides.
- How I am constantly surprised by the ability for involvement in the group to help
