South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils are bringing GO Active Gold activities to many more rural communities in 2017 following overwhelming success this year.
GO Active Gold provides physical activities in rural areas to help those aged 60 and over to be more active. In 2016 more than 1,000 residents from 20 different communities took part in over 70 GO Active Gold activities.
26 new villages are already signed up to host activities next year meaning that Go Active Gold will benefit many more people across the two districts.
People can find out what GO Active Gold could offer their rural community by coming along to a free taster session, including a presentation from GO Active Gold staff, two taster activities, a functional fitness MOT and refreshments.
The free taster sessions run on:
