Men’s Activities Networking Event – 8 Nov
This event on Thursday 8 November 2018 will focus on activities that get men talking, socialising and doing things to improve their wellbeing.
Open to all men, women and community groups who want to discover what works to engage men and what doesn’t. Have you got an idea for an activity that could improve the health and wellbeing of men in Calderdale? Come along to our networking event and see who else might be able to help you?

Our fantastic gym instructors are here to help and can provide some top advice about getting fit. Or why not try one of our new classes and exercise with your mates, you can book classes up to 8 days in advance online.
