💙 It’s Anti‑Bullying Week 2025: Power for Good! Time to stand up, speak out, and build kinder communities 🌟

Bullying can happen anywhere: in schools, workplaces, online, even in organisations up and down the ladder. It affects everyone.

Here’s how we can make a difference together:
👫 Be an ally, not a bystander - if you see something, say something
🏫 In schools: encourage safe spaces, peer support, and open dialogue
💼 In workplaces & organisations: promote respect, zero tolerance, and clear reporting structures
🗣️ Share stories, challenge harmful behaviour, and support those who feel alone

Let’s work together for environments where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued 💪

Remembrance Sunday is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism. 🌺

Fancy playing walking football? ⚽

Walking Football at Dimensions Leisure Centre: A slowed down version of the game, played outside on the 3G pitch.

Days/Times:

⚽Tuesdays 2-3pm
⚽Thursdays 2-3 pm

Sessions are played outside on the 3G pitches so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

3G looks like natural grass and has similar playing characteristics. It is non-abrasive and it can be played on using moulded boots (not blades) with plastic studs or AstroTurf trainers.

Standard trainers will not provide good grip on the surface so should be avoided. Please remember to bring with you a prefilled water bottle/drink and any medication that may be required I.e. inhalers/GTN Spray etc.
