The

first edition of the directory of discounts for members of Fit

Christchurch has now been published.

 

People

who have already signed up, for free, to be part of the Fit

Christchurch project can now present their membership cards at a number

of businesses in the Borough to benefit from a range of discounts and

special offers.

 

Benefits

include everything from taster sessions at local sports clubs to

discounts on treatments at health practitioners or from local shops and

restaurants.

 

The

Fit Christchurch programme is led by a network of organisations

including Christchurch Borough Council, Christchurch Community

Partnership, Christchurch Schools Sport Partnership, Christchurch Food

Festival Education Trust and Dorset PCT.

 

The

programme

held a

successful Fun Day on the Quomps at Christchurch Quay last year and

another Fun Day is being planned this year for the same venue on Saturday 18 September.

 

Fit

Christchurch aims to increase the number of people in Christchurch who

eat healthily, engage in regular physical activity and maintain a

healthy body mass.

 

Anyone

wishing to sign up to the programme, free of charge, will be able to

benefit from the discounts and offers arranged with local companies. Any

local companies wishing to be included in the scheme are also invited to take

part.

What do you think to this idea ? Do you think its great as people should be aware of what they are eating and encouraged to be more active or do you think events and initiatives are a waste of time and money ?
