Southlanders
Health & Wellbeing Zone [2009]
Opens 10th February 2009
Overview
This zone has been created by Southlanders to enable local residents to be able to access a series of activities aimed at enabling them to:
- Learn about healthy lifestyles options
- Participate in a range of activities to maintain and improve their health & wellbeing in the locality
The Zone is primarily aimed at residents who are "over 50" [but all ages are welcomed] and has received funding from the National Lottery, via AGE CONCERN's "Fit as a Fiddle" Campaign.
Other agencies, such as West Sussex Adult and Community Education, and the WEA, have indicated that they are interested in becoming "preferred partners" and will be providing a wide range of activities.
For more information about the range and type of activity on offer - please see "Calendar of Activities below

It is also planned to start a
"Virtual Sports League"
using a Nintendo "WII" Sports Package in early 2009.
The aim of this activity is to enable all residents to enjoy the thrill of competing in a wide range of "virtual sports" and so enabling residents to be able to socialise together in a friendly [yet competitive] way.
