Wellbeing Events & Programmes

Looking After Your Health & Wellbeing

We have a range of mental and physical health and wellbeing activities available for people to attend and enjoy! Improving health and wellbeing, managing existing conditions or trying to prevent certain conditions can feel like a challenge, but you don’t have to do it alone. You are promised a warm welcome, useful information and the opportunity to get support and advice. Please come along and try something new! Some of these events and programmes are delivered in our NDCN Community Hub on Main Street Bangor (facing Halifax), while others are delivered out in communities to make them easy to get to and participate in.

Some examples of activities include:

Chi-Me – Improve your strength, balance and flexibility through this gentle exercise programme. Join us for an hour of invigorating yet relaxing exercise. Derived from Tai Chi, movements are simple, flowing and calming. Helps to improve breathing, aids balance and general well-being. Chi Me is suitable for all levels of fitness. Fridays 9.30am - 10.30am in Skipperstone Community Centre and then again on Fridays 11am - 12pm in the NDCN Community Hub on Main Street (facing Halifax).

Walking Group – Every Monday morning from 10am, we have a walking group that departs from the NDCN Community Hub on Main Street (facing Halifax). The walk usually lasts up to an hour, and it is open to all ages and abilities to participate and we would love to welcome new friends to this group. We finish off back at the Wellbeing Centre where a nice cuppa is well earned!

Yoga – Every Monday 11.30am - 12.30pm (yoga mats provided) at the NDCN Community Hub on Main Street (facing Halifax) or Thursdays 2-3pm (please bring own yoga mat) in Skipperstone Community Centre. These sessions are either in the chair or very gentle, making them great for people of all ages and abilities. We promise you won’t be standing on your head or anything too much, but you will feel an improvement in your flexibility, relaxation of your nervous system and might even sleep better.
