Active Carers Day on 15 April is a national day of celebration for carers and the power of movement.  If you look after a family member, friend or neighbour, unpaid, because they can’t manage day to day without your support, you are a carer. As a small thank you for the incredible care, time, and dedication you give to others every single day, NL Active would like to invite you to take some well deserved time for yourself and join us for a free activity.

Caring for others can be both rewarding and demanding, which is why taking time to look after yourself is so important. Whether you’d like to unwind with a gentle session, try something new, or enjoy a more energising activity, we’ve got a range of options to help you feel your best in a friendly and supportive environment.

Here’s what’s on offer across our centres:

Ancholme – Group Cycling (11.15am to 12noon)

A great way to boost your energy levels and get your heart pumping at your own pace.

Epworth – Pickleball (10am to 11am)

Try one of the fastest growing sports, combining elements of tennis and badminton in a relaxed and welcoming setting.

The Pods – Les Mills Shapes (5pm to 5.45pm)

A modern workout focused on strength, flexibility, and mindful movement to leave you feeling refreshed and re-energised.

All sessions are completely FREE for carers and there will be an opportunity after the sessions to stay for a drink and connect with others. Spaces are limited and subject to availability, so we recommend booking in advance by calling the site you want to attend on 01724 291900 to secure your place.

Active Carers Day is more than just a day of activity, it’s a chance to connect, take a breather, and do something positive for yourself. Whether you come on your own or with a colleague, we’re here to make sure you feel welcome, supported and appreciated.

You spend so much time caring for others, now it’s time to take care of you!
