  • Burngreave New Deal for Communities and Line Managed by Activity Sheffield
    active BURNGREAVE Sport & Physical Activity for Adults Intro The Active Burngreave Taskforce aims to encourage and support the people of Burngreave to be more physically active. The aim of this directory is to provide local information on sport and physical activity clubs, groups and activities in the Burngreave area. Did you know? On a local level, physical inactivity is estimated to be causing 41 premature deaths per year in the Burngreave area! But the good news is: You can significantly reduce this risk by doing the recommended minimum amount of physical activity to benefit health. That is: • 30 minutes of moderate exercise, 5 times a week for adults and • 60 minutes of moderate exercise, 7 times a week for children A wide range of activities can make up this activity including walking to school or the shops, gardening, sport, housework, dancing and cycling. Please note: All information is correct at the time of going to print. It is the responsibility of the parent / guardian to ensure that coaches are suitably qualified and police checked, prior to participating. Sheffield City Council cannot be held responsible for any accidents, injuries or loss that may occur whilst undertaking an activity. 2 Contents Aerobics 6 Gardening & Conservation 9 Badminton 6 Health Basketball 6 & Fitness 9 Bowls 6 Martial Arts 10 Chairobics 7 Running 10 Cricket 7 Social Groups 10 Dance 8 Walking 11 Disability Yoga 11 Groups 8 Football 8 3 Useful Local Contacts Michala Spacey Courtney Stirling Burngreave Sports Development Project Co-ordinator Centre
