Women's Community Matters - Active Cumbria

Resource boxes of sport equipment, weekly challenges and DVDs for local vulnerable families. This promotes positive, active family interaction, gives families a reason to get outdoors and make use of open spaces such as parks & beaches and improve their overall health.

This is a legacy project that plants the seeds for an active and healthier future for all families working with Women's Community Matters.

The boxes were delivered via doorstep checks, along with hot food delivery and support.
