We offer a wide range of sports and leisure opportunities. Some of our more popular activities are listed below:

Walking is a popular session as it is an easy way to get more active, improve your mood, balance and co-ordination. The route of the walk varies but can include parks and gardens, nature reserves and canal side but also may also include more built up areas in which road awareness becomes a focus.
