UPCOMINGEVENTS:

In October 2013, the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Partnership will be celebrating participation by promoting all the cultural activities happening in Leicestershire that the public can get involved with, which will improve their health and wellbeing.To find out how you can get involved, visit http://leicestershire-wellbeing.co.uk/ or contact Sallie Wocha on 0116 305 4115 oremail sallie.wocha@leics.gov.uk

The ‘Strolls on your Doorstep’ leaflet series covers four different localities: Hinckley & Burbage, Coalville, South of Leicester and Loughborough. The leaflets contain maps and useful information about short, accessible walks for people of all abilities. Members of the public can request copies of the leaflets directly from Leicestershire County Council, or can pick them up at local service shops and libraries.

The adult cycling courses are aimed at developing confidence and skills for riding both on and off the road. They are ideal for people who have never been on a bike before (you’re never too old to learn!), riders who want to improve their confidence and people who haven’t cycled for years. The courses are delivered by experienced instructors qualified to a national standard. Courses are completely free and participants don’t need their own bike as bikes and helmets can be hired.
