We’re absolutely delighted to announce that we’ve received funding from the incredible supporting community fund from Wigan Counci to launch some incredible community projects right here in Wigan helping local women get moving, get talking and feel more connected through movement.
And we’re kicking things off with our Over 50s Friendly Nordic Walking Taster Session at Haigh Hall! 🌳
This is about so much more than going for a walk.
It’s a chance to get outdoors, gently increase your activity, meet other local women, have a chat, enjoy some fresh air and discover a fun new way to move all in a friendly, supportive and completely pressure-free environment.
✨ Never tried Nordic Walking? Perfect.
✨ Haven’t exercised for a while? You’re welcome.
✨ Coming on your own? Absolutely!
✨ Worried about fitness levels? Don’t be we’ll take it at a comfortable pace.
✨ No equipment? We’ve got you covered Nordic Walking poles are provided but you can bring your own if you have them too.
We want to create more opportunities in Wigan for women over 50 to move, connect, make new friendships and feel part of something in their local community.
So please help us spread the word!
Send this to your Nana, Mama, Mum, Auntie, neighbour, friend or anyone you think would LOVE to come along.
Tag them below, share this post and help us reach the wonderful women of Wigan who might really benefit from something like this.
