Slough Borough Council has launched a Sport England Lottery funded project for Chalvey families to try activities together. If you live in Chalvey and your family want to try badminton, street dance, cycling, scavenger hunts and much more, then this project is for you!

The Chalvey Can Family Challenge launched at the end of July. If you are looking for easy ideas to get the whole family moving, either download a challenge sheet or register with us for your paper copy and win prizes for completing challenges together! Challenges include the Herschel park Xplorer trail and the new Salt Hill park trail. You get a welcome gift when you register with us as well as spot prizes every week and prizes include a brand new bike!

We all know that family life can be a challenge and sometimes we need support to change – you’re not alone, 1:1 support is available through this project. We can work together to build family movement into your life. You may be referred to us for 1:1 support, or if you’d like to know more and find out if you qualify, please call us on 01753 875177.

Chalvey Can activity sessions will be launching in the autumn, so if you are ready to move a little bit more and have just been waiting for the opportunity, then these sessions are for you! They are suitable for beginners and all ages with easy to follow directions at every session.

Sarah Nicholls, Active Communities Behaviour Change Officer, said: “We know that moving more helps us to remain healthier for longer, helps with concentration and focus and makes us feel happier. We have so many opportunities for Chalvey families to find the activities they like and lots of support to get you started with moving a little bit more. Call us today for your free membership and welcome gift!”

If you’re a family living in Chalvey, we need you! We value your thoughts and feedback and will use this to make Chalvey Can fit you better.
