Give it a go in February

South Bucks residents are being given the opportunity to get back into a sport or try something totally new! South Bucks District Council is offering a wide variety of subsidised or free activities starting next week.

South Bucks District Councillor Anita Cranmer, Portfolio Holder for Community says “We hope that Reactivate Bucks will inspire our adult residents to get active. With so many activities on offer across the County there is something for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, or ability. You don’t have to be naturally sporty or super fit to get involved; the aim of these activities is to provide exercise in an enjoyable way.”
