Events in Rochdale - Fitness

Children and young people living in Heywood shouldn't get bored this half-term. Heywood Township have teamed up with Link4Life to providing a FREE action packed programme of activities available during the week. The leaflet is available now from local libraries, community centres, leisure centre and local shops. If you want to know what’s going on over the half-term you can’t afford to be without one of these leaflets so pick one up today.

The programme has been co-ordinated by Link4Life and sponsored by Heywood Township. Local organisations and groups have all helped to put together a fantastic programme of activities for children and young people.

Julie Durrant, Community Sports Development Officer from Link4Life who has helped co-ordinate the week long programme says ‘There is something for everyone this half-term in the Heywood area from archery, dance, mountain biking, handball, basketball, tennis to football, cricket, karate and even FREE swimming and an outdoor climbing wall – plus lots more.

Keeping children entertained during the holiday period is really difficult and can also be very costly. All activities as part of the Heywood Festival of Sport Programme are completely free so everyone can take part.

There is nothing like this in any other township across the borough so Heywood residents should have a great half-term.

To get hold of a copy of the leaflet and programme for the week pop into the local library or leisure centre, or download a copy from the links, or call Julie Durrant on 01706 926201.
