Woking Leisure Centre to host free World Health Day event for the community

The centre, which is managed by Everyone Active in partnership with Woking Borough Council, will run the event from 9am to 8pm and offer free activities, nutrition advice and stalls from community partners. 

Attendees will be able to take part in a variety of free sessions, including walking football, no strings badminton, a singing session, and activities delivered as part of the 50+ Club, ensuring there is something for all ages and abilities to enjoy.

Additional evening sessions include boccia, in partnership with Linkable, and a Back to Netball session designed to help participants build confidence and return to the sport in a welcoming environment.

Alongside the activities, organisers are planning interactive sessions to help families learn how to prepare a healthy packed lunch, with hands-on opportunities to create nutritious options during the event.

Visitors will also be able to gain advice from organisations including Surrey County Council - Living Well Programme; Leaders Unlocked - Surrey Youth Commission; Sport in Mind; One You Surrey - Weight Management & Smoking Cessation and Social Prescribing at Woking Borough Council.

Speaking about the event, Everyone Active's Daniel Healy, said:  

We’re thoroughly looking forward to welcoming visitors and our community partners to the centre to mark World Health Day for our free event. 

We all know how important it is to look after our physical and mental health but having face-to-face advice from a range of professionals in a welcoming space can be so valuable to ask questions that you may not always have the opportunity to ask elsewhere. 

We encourage anybody who is interested to come along, explore the support available and learn how innovative ways of staying active can have a hugely positive impact on health and well-being.
 

There's no need to book, just turn up on Tuesday 7 April between 9am and 8pm.
