Freedom Leisure and councils launch wellbeing roadshow

Cotswold District Council is working with Freedom Leisure and One Gloucestershire to organise a Health and Wellbeing Roadshow.

As part of the Active Cotswold programme, the roadshow looks to support residents to get more physically active.

The roadshows will offer residents the opportunity to speak to health and wellbeing professionals about how to live a healthy lifestyle and be more active.

Running from April to July across eight locations, the roadshow will feature basic exercise demonstrations, while social prescribers from the Gloucestershire Rural Community Council will be on hand to speak to residents. Those attending can also have their blood pressure checked.

Jason Evans, from Freedom Leisure, said: “This roadshow is all about getting people moving and being more active!

“It’s been great to work collaboratively with Cotswold District Council to put on this roadshow and we’re hopeful it will benefit many local people.”

Councillor Paul Hodgkinson, Cabinet Member for Health, Leisure and Culture, added: “This is an exciting opportunity for residents to come and speak to the experts about everything health and wellbeing. “
