Meet the team in Victoria Park, Haslingden, for an outdoor session of Circuit Lite, using the park and outdoor gym equipment, running from 10.30-11.30am.  Come and join us and learn how to exercise safely and correctly.  Meeting at the entrance to Victoria Park on Helmshore Road at 10.15am.

We'll also be offering FREE MOT health checks at Haslingden library between 10.30-12 and Bacup library between 1.30-3 today.

Finally, we hope you’ll join us at either Bacup Health Centre between 9.30-11am or Haslingden Health Centre between 3-5pm to chat about how Up and Active can help you to lose weight and get more active – No faddy diets as we all know that dieting doesn’t work!
