WHAT IS THE BE ACTIVE PROJECT?
The Be Active project provides free opportunities for individuals age 16+ to become active, remain active and perhaps try something new. We also encourage disabled and non-disabled individuals to be active together through the activities we offer. Our low-level activities are inclusive, welcoming and open to all – bring a friend, carer or family member along to join in too! We run weekly sessions and seasonal events.
WHY IS BE ACTIVE IMPORTANT?
The Be Active project allows individuals to become active for the first time, maintain their activity level throughout the week and provides the chance for people to try new things. It’s a great chance for people to meet others and make friends, enjoy the outdoors, and feel part of the community. This also enables individuals to feel empowered and improve their physical, social and mental health.
