About this cause

We work with the Rochdale community to support them to live healthier lifestyles and to fulfil their potential We do this by providing access to sporting activity, volunteering opportunities, programmes to support health and wellbeing, music and heritage. We provide sports coaching, mentoring, programmes to support mental resilience, development of musical talent, physical wellbeing through specific fitness programmes. We provide support for heritage projects that celebrate and mark the history and culture of Rochdale and their use in supporting older people with memory related problems. We run a Wheelchair club which integrates the abled and disabled elements of the community and also directly support veterans to re-integrate into civilian life

How this cause brings people in the community together

Obesity in our primary schools doubles between the age of 5 and 11 - we will slow that rate down by monitoring fitness and alerting any problems We will ensure that children understand why being fit and active is important to them We will supply the schools and health professionals with current and up to date data We will support young people to lead more active lives
