Oldham and District Canoe Club

Cycling & Walking |
This project supports people with predominately sedentary lifestyles to take part in organised community walks, learn to cycle sessions and cycle rides, to improve well being, and to reduce the risk of those who are inactive becoming obese, thus improving their health.
People with sedentary lifestyles directly benefit from the project by being encouraged to become involved in joining gentle walking and cycling groups. This will have the added benefit of encouraging people to access Oldham's open spaces, Oldham's cycle trails, and create social networks.
The project works closely with Oldham Community Leisure's home based exercise scheme by developing further health walks and supporting the current Walking to Health initiative and it develops professional schemes for both walking and cycling, enabling participants to advance through their chosen activity.
