The Active Living Team provides programmes to support people in becoming more physically active to improve their health and quality of life. We are responsible for maintaining and increasing the numbers of people involved in health and physical activity programmes across Wigan Borough. The Active Living Team also provides targeted physical activity and health programmes for sedentary adults, priority target groups, e.g. older adults, learning disabilities, chronic health need, under 5s (including parents and carers), employees and targeted communities.

We currently provide over 120 activity sessions within the borough each week. The range of sessions reflects local needs including:

• Post natal exercise
• Chair based activity classes
• Gentle exercise to music
• Circuit based exercise
• Health walks and cycling
• Tai chi and Pilates
• Water based activity
• Beginners dance sessions
