Families are being encouraged to get active this half term by making the most of their local leisure centre.

With swimming, junior gym, trampolining, tennis and soft play amongst the many activities on offer, there is plenty to keep children and adults well entertained.

“Healthy exercise has never been more important after all the restrictions imposed by Covid,” said GLL senior manager Amelia Kitchen. “It helps us get fitter – not just physically, but mentally too.

“Sport is a good way of bringing families together away from the home and our computer screens. We’ve been cooped up long enough – now is the time to have fun, push ourselves and enjoy the facilities our local centres can provide.”

GLL is a not-for-profit social enterprise that runs leisure centres on behalf of Cornwall Council in Liskeard, Launceston, Bude, Bodmin, Saltash Truro, Newquay, St Austell, St Ives, Wadebridge and Helston.

With Covid precautions still in place, booking in advance is recommended but walk-ins are also welcome.
