Partnership with charity Carers UK
GLL, the charitable social enterprise that operates ‘Better’ leisure centres in Yorkshire and across the UK, has partnered with national charity Carers UK, in support of its ‘Carers Active April’ campaign. The month-long initiative aims to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity and highlight the benefits of moving more. Throughout April, there will be lots of opportunities for carers to be active, with support available along the way.
There will also be free taster activities running in selected centres and staff on-hand during welcome days to give centre tours and answer any questions people may have. Research by Carers UK found that 67% of unpaid carers said taking part in physical activity helped them feel more connected to other people. The Active April campaign is all about supporting the UK’s 5.7 million unpaid carers to be more active.
