Our New Pioneers Project Men’s Lab recently welcomed guests from Active Travel Your Trust Rochdale for an inspiring and informative session about the many ways people can stay active across the borough.
The discussion introduced members to a range of local opportunities, including walking groups, cycling activities, public transport and health and wellbeing programmes. The group also explored how these activities can help people improve their physical health, support their mental wellbeing and stay connected with others.
For some people, becoming more active can feel difficult. A lack of confidence, access to equipment or knowledge about local opportunities can all create barriers. Sessions like this help people understand what support is available and encourage them to take small, positive steps at a pace that feels comfortable.
The session also gave members an opportunity to ask questions, share their experiences and learn more about travelling around Rochdale. By working with local partners, Men’s Lab aims to make healthy and active choices feel more accessible and enjoyable.
A huge thank you to the Active Travel Your Trust Rochdale team for sharing their knowledge, answering questions and inspiring our members.
We hope this will be the beginning of a fantastic partnership, creating more opportunities for our Men’s Lab members to stay active, explore new places and enjoy meaningful experiences together.
