🌸 World Menopause Awareness Day 🌸

Today we’re shining a light on menopause — a natural life stage that can bring many changes, both physical and emotional. The great news? Moving your body is one of the most powerful ways to support yourself through it. 💪✨

Regular activity can help to:
✅ Boost mood and reduce stress
✅ Support bone and heart health
✅ Ease hot flushes and improve sleep
✅ Maintain strength, balance and energy levels

It doesn’t have to mean hours in the gym — walking, swimming, yoga, dancing, gardening, or any movement you enjoy all make a difference.

At Active Lifestyles Stroud District, we’re here to help you find movement that feels good and fits your life. Whether you’re looking to build confidence, join a local class, or simply start moving more each day, we’re here to support you. 💚

Let’s break the taboo, keep the conversation open, and celebrate the power of movement at every stage of life.

💚 World Mental Health Day – 10 October 💚

Today is a reminder that looking after our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health.

At Active Lifestyles Stroud District, we know that movement, connection and community can all play a role in supporting wellbeing. But we also recognise that sometimes the bravest step is simply reaching out and talking.

🌱 Take time for yourself — a walk, a swim, a stretch, or a chat with a friend.
🌱 Remember: progress is progress, no matter how small.
🌱 And if you’re struggling, support is out there — you are not alone.

👉 If you feel in serious danger of harming yourself, please call 999 immediately.
👉 For more information and resources, visit Mind
or speak to your GP if you need extra help.

Let’s look after our bodies and our minds — together. 💚
