more physically active. Amongst the wide range of low cost activities
taking place across the borough are:
an extended Health Walks programme
On Yer Bike, fun cycle rides ideal for beginners or those returning
to cycling
crown green bowling tuition courses
golf taster sessions
outdoor Tai Chi sessions for the Summer months
Activities are delivered through our extensive partnership working
across the borough.
For more information, please contact Yvonne Ashcroft (Outdoor Activity
Officer) on 01942 886802. Health Walks
(Organised Short Walks)
Health Walks are ideal for
people who want to improve their general health and wellbeing. These walks
are suitable for people of all ages and this is a fun way to take up
walking in a safe, sociable atmosphere.
Walking is an ideal form of
exercise, and a way to enjoy your local area, meet new people and
generally have a good time.

On
Yer Bike!

There is no doubt that cycling can be a great way to exercise. However,
many people are put off cycling for a whole host of reasons. The 'Health
on Wheels' initiative is aimed at helping adults get back into cycling
in a safe, fun and healthy way. As part of the Health on Wheels
initiative, we will be organising regular guided cycle rides and in
particular encouraging people to take part who may not have been active
for some time - even providing bikes and safety equipment (where
possible) on the rides.

Health on Wheels
The 'Health on Wheels' initiative is a partnership between Wigan Leisure
and Culture Trust, Cycle Projects (Manchester based cycle
promotions/projects charity) and Ashton Leigh and Wigan PCT.
If you would like further information about the programme, then contact
Active Living on (01942) 488481.
