Fit Villages

Rural communities are being given the opportunity to get more active thanks to a new initiative about to be launched by Suffolk Sport.

‘Fit Villages’ gives villages the chance to run subsidised sporting and physical activity sessions from local facilities such as village halls, community centres and recreation grounds thanks to support from national and local funding bodies.

By participating, local people are given the chance to engage with an activity programme without transport, cost, time and environmental concerns; often cited as obstructions to quality activity provision in rural areas.

Activities are determined following a consultation with local people and can include things like health walks, badminton, yoga, Pilates, keep fit and Nordic walking amongst others.
