About This Campaign
As we all start to feel the financial pinch and assess our priorities, remembering the endless physical and mental health benefits that moving more can offer, stopping completely would be impactful on your overall wellbeing.
We've collated a range of ideas on how to be active, as well a whole host of free/low-cost activity sessions taking place locally, enabling you to still feel the benefits of being active throughout this difficult time.
Below are the free/low cost sessions coordinated by us, or our core partners.
