December Already? Keep warm with Active Mums Club!❄️

It's the festive season 🎄

Welcome to all of you, especially our new members :-)

Whatever stage you are at during your pregnancy or post natal journey, we hope that we are able to help you make informed choices about what, how and when you can be active.

We want to provide you with safe and trusted information about being active and to connect you to local sessions in your area. Visit our website for the latest information about sessions in your area, or other ways to be active - www.activemumsclub.org

Active Mums Club sessions this December

Come and join us this December - we have lots of walks to choose from as well as some free of charge Move Events (taster sessions) if you are feeling more energetic. The choice is yours!

Check out our website for all the details of each session.

Our buggy walks are a valuable support network for mums to network and get some time outside with their baby and as part of a group. Our groups are FREE to join and are pushchair friendly.

Led by a mixture of staff and volunteers, you will be made extremely welcome by all!

In the case of inclement weather, a decision will be made on the day about the walk, however someone will always be at the advertised start point to go for a cuppa, so you can still get out of the house.

New Walk leader at Bradgate Park

Register

We have a new walk leader at our wonderful Bradgate park!

Meet Sam, who will be talking over from Jo as of next week as the Bradgate Park Walk Leader.
The walk will be the same time, day and place, every Monday from 10:30am. 🤩

A little about Sam...
Hi, I'm Sam and I'm currently enjoying maternity leave after my little boy was born in May. I've been attending the Bradgate Park walks since my baby was a month old and have loved getting out and meeting everyone each week and the friendships that have come with that so am excited to take over this walk. When not on maternity leave I work in sport so am hugely passionate about the benefits being active brings. Away from work I can often be found on dog walks in the countryside or watching live sport! Hope to see you on a walk soon.

Buggy walks - Inclement Weather

As we move into the challenging weather season, please keep an eye on the social media accounts for announcements about walks. Many groups will still meet for a drink if the walk cannot take place, so make sure you are following us on Facebook or Instagram!
