Leisure World in the Community
Leisure World in the Community is a new programme bringing free sports, fitness, and wellbeing activities directly into your neighbourhood. Whether you’re looking to get moving, meet new people, or simply feel better in body and mind, this programme is for everyone – of all ages and abilities.
What’s it all about?
We believe that everyone should have access to the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle – right on their doorstep. That’s why we’re working with local venues, schools, and parks to make it easy for people across Colchester to join in, feel good, and get involved. Our sessions are completely free, open to all, and designed to build a stronger, healthier community.
What’s on?
We’ve got something for everyone:
- Inclusive multi-sports for children
- Gentle exercise for over-65s and those with limited mobility
- Yoga and Pilates to support mental and physical wellbeing
- Healthy eating sessions for all the family
- First aid workshops for useful life skills
- Social and wellbeing events to help people connect
