Move a mile in May
Movement of any kind, be that armchair exercises, walking to the cormer shop instead of taking the car, taking the stairs, dancing swimming or any kind of sport keeps us more active and helps us to reduce our risk of developing long term health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or dementia.
This May we are encouraging people to move more and make a small donation to support our local services and activities as motivation.
