Residents are invited to discover the wide range of activities, support and opportunities available at Life Leisure as part of Stockport Live Well.
Life Leisure is about much more than sport and fitness. Through its Active Communities programme, people can access activities, groups and support that help them move more, improve their wellbeing and build connections with others. Alongside gym sessions, swimming and exercise referral programmes, centres across the borough are creating welcoming spaces where everyone can take part, meet new people and feel part of their local community.
During a recent Live Well event at the Hazel Grove Life Leisure Hub, residents took part in an Outdoor Explorers session in the community sensory garden, a led wellbeing walk and Brew & a Biscuit, while finding out more about local groups, services and opportunities available in their neighbourhood.
Janet, a local resident:
“I joined the walk for exercise and to be out in the fresh air. A bonus has been meeting such nice people.”
Councillor Dan Oliver, Cabinet Member for Communities, Culture and Public Protection:
“Strong communities are built when people have opportunities to come together and that’s exactly what Live Well is all about. What I love about activities like these is that they show how movement and connection go hand in hand. A walk, a shared activity or a chat over a brew might seem like small things, but they can make a real difference to someone’s confidence, wellbeing and sense of belonging.”
Life Leisure is about so much more than exercise. Through its Active Communities programme and now as a Live Well space, it is helping people feel connected, supported and inspired to make positive changes in their lives. Whether it’s getting active, meeting new people or finding support close to home, these spaces are helping build healthier, happier and stronger communities across Stockport.
