“We have identified a range of activities participants might be interested in such as joining a social netball or tennis competition, walking group, beach volleyball, 7 Week Challenge, boot camp or meditation/yoga classes through Aquamoves.

“You will be fully supported by qualified staff and by your peers and all activities will be free.”
