What is Active Families?
Active Families is a free 10-week programme for families across Blackpool, designed to help you build healthier habits together in a supportive and welcoming setting.
Led by friendly, experienced coaches, the programme creates a relaxed, non-judgemental space where everyone can take part, whatever your starting point.
It’s all about making small, realistic changes that work for your family and your everyday life.
Each week, you’ll enjoy a mix of:
- Fun, inclusive physical activities that everyone can join in with
- Simple, practical food and nutrition guidance
- Helpful wellbeing tips you can use at home
- Time to learn, connect and build healthy routines together
By the end of the programme, you’ll feel more confident, more active, and better equipped to keep those positive habits going as a family.
