SUMMER FAMILY FITNESS
The Community Trust is hosting family fitness sessions this summer with a range of fun, accessible activities to choose from!
Taking place across the school holidays at King George V Community Sports Hub, the programme aims to support local families to get moving and improve their health and wellbeing together. The activities on offer are Circuits, Firm & Burn, Zumba, and free Wellbeing Walks.
To encourage participation, children attend FREE with a paying adult and multiple children can attend with each adult, making it a fantastic and affordable way to keep active, support their wellbeing, and make the most of the summer holidays together. The whole family is welcome, including children, mums, dads, carers and grandparents. The activities have been designed for ages five and over, and we ask that children under the age of eight are accompanied by an adult during the sessions.
