A summer of family fun with Slough’s leisure provider
Free family fun is on offer this summer, through the council’s leisure provider Everyone Active.
The Everyone is Family campaign aims to celebrate family activity, by providing free week-long activity plans to suit every family lifestyle.
Throughout August, families will be able to participate in activities at The Centre, Slough Ice Arena and Langley Leisure Centre, as well as join in activities online or do them at home.
The themes are Relaxation Week, Summer of Sports Week, Energetic Week and Adventurous Week, with family days, parent days and cook-a-long days.
The campaign follows research by Everyone Active where 70 per cent of parents said their children are more active than 18 months ago and 83 per cent said they intend to live life to the full this summer and exercise as a family. It also showed the return in popularity of activities like swimming, football, running, cycling and trampolining.
Councillor Sabia Akram, lead member for leisure, culture and communities, said: “It’s wonderful to hear families are spending more quality time together and being active at the same time. A game of frisbee or throwing a ball to each other are simple fun activities to do anywhere, but there is plenty of other fun available at our leisure sites. I would encourage families to check out the plan and get signed up.”
Luke Routhorn, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said: "Our research indicates that all types of group activities from rounders to cycling and football are back this summer, with families hoping to enjoy exercising together more than ever before. Our new Everyone is Family campaign aims to support and reconnect families looking to get active together this summer, with free activity plans for parents, grandparents and children to do each week in August."
Free seven-day passes are available and there are prizes on offer to those that download the activity plans, including three top prizes of six-month family memberships (for up to 2 adults and 2 children).
Everyone Active has also put together a handy guide, featuring the weekly activity plans and a collection of recipes by chef Jonny Marsh.
