For Women across Exeter! 👇

City Sisters is a brand-new, physical activity programme designed to inspire women in Exeter.
We want to engage and energise participants across the city by offering a varied programme of activities for women of all ages, fitness levels, cultures, and abilities.

We’ve linked with community groups, individuals, organisations and local facilities that showcase the best of what’s available.

We’re seeking allies and ambassadors to support participants and highlight the opportunities that exist so that more women feel able to be physically active and to feel great.

We lift the curfew, tackle inequalities, showcase community spirit, lead by example, listen with intent, break down barriers and bridge the gap where opportunities are lacking.

This pilot program is not just designed to deliver activities but to listen and learn specifically what women want in the city, in their community and on their doorstep.

We have 200 places available on this pilot programme of activities and want to engage women who really need support and inspiration to get moving.

If you’re interested in the programme, please get in touch by completing this google form https://forms.gle/GLo5yJJ837UK5T6q9 or emailing hello@liveandmove.co.uk.

You’ll then receive the full schedule of activities that you can book onto and take part in throughout January and February.

We’re not hanging around.
We’re not standing on the sidelines.
We’re not waiting for permission.

Exeter’s first Walking Basketball sessions, suitable for all ages (18+) and abilities. This group is all about inclusivity, fun and friendly games. Walking Basketball is very similar to regular basketball but involves no physical contact and no running. Whether you have never tried basketball or used to play but find the regular game too strenuous, come along and join us. No experience required. First session is free!

Another fantastic guided history walk with the Friends of Exeter Ship Canal & Heritage Harbour CIO. The mild and dry weather was on our side, as a group of 25 of us went on a gentle stroll along the waterside, listening to stories about the shipping canal's past. We finished our walk at the nearby Shilhay Community Centre, where some of the residents kindly hosted us for hot drinks and mince pies. Here, a local person shared some fascinating memories about their childhood of growing up by the canal during the second world war.

Thank you to all who joined us on the walk and to everyone involved in organising and running the event. We are planning further walks for the new year! 🌞
