Keep active day

Find free, affordable and accessible activities near you: Wednesday 7 May
Regular movement can cut your dementia risk by 30 percent, lower cardiovascular disease risk by 35 percent, and reduce depression by 40 percent. The more active you are, the more you’re investing in a healthier, happier future!
Whether it’s a walk, stretching, or taking part in a community gardening group, every bit of activity counts, and the benefits only continue to grow. Getting active doesn’t mean drastic changes, you can start small and build up.
To make it easier to find an activity that’s right for you, Age UK Islington and the Islington library service has organised a keep active day information event at Islington Central Library on Wednesday 7 May, 11am–1pm.
Drop in on the day to find out about free and affordable, accessible ways of keeping active here in Islington, in leisure centres, community centres and outdoors. Discover:
- Guided walks
- Affordable gym sessions
- Community gardening sessions
- Free and affordable exercise classes
- Dance classes
