Residents who want to give something back are helping at a wellbeing fayre<\/a> next month. Phil Taylor and Georgina Cable are regular users of Grimsby<\/a> Leisure Centre\u2019s Health and Wellbeing site, following health referrals on to the Lincs Inspire Active Forever programme.<\/p>\n

Phil started exercising<\/a> in the gym earlier this year and has since seen an improvement to his physical and mental health. He said: \u201cJoining here has been life-changing.<\/p>\n

“If you invest a bit of your time, the benefits are phenomenal. I\u2019ve managed to lose weight, make friends and feel healthier. Where else would you find that? You can\u2019t find it on the high street; it\u2019s not sold in a shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow member Georgina enjoys using the specialist exercise equipment at the centre\u2019s Wellness Hub, which support gentle movement by working with the user. She\u2019s also recently completed the Lincs Inspire eight-week weight management programme.<\/p>\n

Georgina said: \u201cTaking the first step has opened doors that I never thought it would. I wanted to get out the house in the winter months and lose a bit of weight. Coming to the Grimsby Health & Wellbeing Centre has lightened everything and the staff help in all sorts of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil and Georgina will share their positive experiences and welcome others to a Wellbeing Fayre at the original Grimsby Leisure Centre on Sunday, October 5, 10am to 3pm, supporting Age UK\u2019s national campaign Silver Sunday. Hosted by Lincs Inspire, the free event will showcase the wealth of support available from a range of community organisations and empower people to lead active, healthy and happy lives.<\/p>\n

Take a guided tour of the centre, chat to our friendly team and discover some fab community organisations. It\u2019s all completely free, we hope you can join us!\u201d<\/p>\n
