Our Active Winter Programme is here! We are teaming up with more of our delivery partners to offer a range of FREE Health & Wellbeing sessions to keep you and your family active over Winter!
There are a range of activity sessions taking place throughout Winter at a range of venues across Blackburn and Darwen.
Through the Active Winter sessions, we are aiming to encourage adults to be more active, which includes a variety of themed walks, health information week (including health checks) linked with the local libraries – see timetable below. We are also offering our usual community activities, which has been updated for the Winter period. All sessions are FREE and no need to book!
