Why get active?

During the first lockdown I felt there was a need in the community for women, whilst adhering to government guidelines, to make new friends, get involved in a sport or activity that would provide positive health outcomes, especially mental health. The project was well received by the girls and women of Thames Ward. We now have a WhatsApp group where our cycling and walking club ladies interact with each other. The clubs are a success as through them residents have formed friendships, as well as better mental and physical health!
