The Outdoor Project and the Community Recording Studio (CRS) have joined forces to deliver a completely free Active Families Event in St Ann's, Nottingham, on Monday, August 17. The initiative is designed to help local families become more active together, remove financial barriers to exercise, and strengthen community bonds.
Event Details and Activities
Scheduled to run throughout the afternoon at the Community Recording Studio on Lowdham Street (NG3 2DP), the event will feature a family fun run and walk, structured fitness sessions, interactive sports activities, roller skating, and local wellbeing stalls. These activities are open to people of all ages and abilities, ensuring that everyone can participate regardless of fitness level.
Local organisations will also be present to provide support and practical advice on adopting healthier daily routines, from nutrition tips to simple ways to incorporate more movement into family life.
Community Impact and Accessibility
The event is part of a broader effort to tackle health inequalities in the area by making wellness opportunities accessible to all. By offering the afternoon free of charge, the organisers aim to remove cost as a barrier, encouraging wider participation from families who might otherwise miss out on such activities.
A spokesperson for the event highlighted the importance of family engagement: “We’re passionate about creating opportunities for families to be active together and building stronger community connections, so we’d love to see as many local families benefit from the event as possible.”
How to Participate
No booking is required, and families are simply invited to turn up on the day. The event is expected to draw a good turnout, reflecting the community's enthusiasm for accessible health and wellbeing initiatives. For further updates, residents can follow the Community Recording Studio's social media channels or contact them directly.
This event is a prime example of how local partnerships can deliver meaningful benefits, fostering healthier habits and stronger neighbourhood ties in St Ann's.
