We value the importance of being active. No matter what your age, physical activity is great for both your body and mind. Having an active lifestyle is proven to help prevent and treat diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and even some forms of cancer.

Being active provides lots of social benefits too – as a simple walk in the park could help you to get out and about and meet new friends.

Everyone – young and old should try and do something active at least once every day - the more, the better. So, what’s stopping you - start today and take a step in the right direction and get active!
