It can be easy to let your fitness levels slip during the winter months. The cold weather and shorter days can make it harder to motivate yourself to get out and about, but it’s important to try and stay active during this time.
We could all benefit from a little support at times to help us make positive changes to different aspects of our lives. Thankfully, as a Bury resident there are plenty of services available to you, each one providing something a little different, helping our communities to increase their physically activity levels. Browse the offers below and see if you can find something that could help you or a friend or family member stay well this winter.
