Active Wellbeing Sessions

Yes, they are free to attend. You must be a South Gloucestershire resident or have a GP in South Gloucestershire.

There are many studies which have shown that doing a physical activity can improve your wellbeing. For example, it can help with:

• Happier moods – physical activity releases feel-good hormones that make you feel better in yourself and give you more energy
• Managing stress, anxiety or intrusive and racing thoughts – doing something physical releases chemicals in the body that helps us manage stress hormones. Being physically active also gives your mind something to focus on and can be a positive coping strategy for difficult times.
• Better sleep – by making you feel more tired at the end of the day.

You must be over 18 years old to attend.
