Stay active

Being active and taking regular exercise is one of the best ways to look after your health.

There's lots of ways to keep moving during the school holidays, from going for a walk, run or cycle in our parks and green spaces, to swimming at one of our leisure centres.

For ideas of ways to stay active, take a look at the What's Your Move website, follow Active in Barnsley on Facebook and Active in Barnsley on X, or search for the hashtag #WhatsYourMove on social media.
