At Shrewsbury Town in the Community we want to provide as many opportunities for people to be more active, whether they’re young or young at heart.
Through our health and wellbeing sessions we aim to offer a variety of activities to cater to different lifestyles through programmes including the Lenny Lifestyle Project and Extra Time.
We would like to highlight Roy, who is a participant in our Extra Time sessions, and has grown a sense of purpose once again since attending. You can watch his incredible story to the right.
We want to help reduce obesity numbers by providing programmes that promote an active lifestyle for all ages. This includes our Health & Wellbeing sessions, teaching in schools, and our after school programmes.
In addition to this we aim to cater to a wide number of disabilities through our sports sessions. We know that in the right environment a participant can flourish, and we want to be the ones to provide that.
• We inspire children to adopt healthier lifestyles by providing sports coaching, health education and teaching resources for schools
