We have re-branded the Re Active 8 programmes for January 2018 and they will be known as ‘Active Adults’. 

Essentially we have merged the two programmes into ’Active Adults’ and will still be offering all your favourite courses as before. Details of ‘Active Adults’  can be found by clicking here.

Online bookings for ‘Active Adults’ will open at 9am on Wednesday 3rd January 2018. Courses will begin week commencing Monday 29th January 2018.

 We would encourage everyone to book online, however, you will need to register and set up an account with Bedford Borough Council. Click here to register for an account. Having an account with Bedford Borough will open up more ways to communicate with the council and access you to other services. It will also speed up the process of booking and paying for your 'Active Adults' course.

We will also be offering additional adult sessions within our ‘Just Turn Up’ programme on a 'pay as you go' basis  (see JTU item below).

Mindful Sport

The specialist programme that offers informal physical activity sessions to support mental health and physical health will have its final session of 2017 this week with the Wellbeing walk on Friday at 11.00 am(15/12/17). Starting at the Higgins Museum

The programme returns in 2018 and will continue to provide a regular weekly option for local people to get active and feel comfortable talking about mental health. The partnership with the Wellbeing service at the East London Foundation Trust means that information is on hand to offer advice about other local mental health services.

The programme returns in January with the first session back after the Christmas break taking place on Friday 5th January which will be the Wellbeing walk. 

All other sessions return the following week commencing on Monday 8th January with Mindful Table Tennis at the Higgins Museum  at 3-4 pm.
