Men Make a Move

Men’s Health Week 2010 will be the first-ever national campaign to encourage men to become more physically active.

This year, the annual National Men's Health Week 14th-20th June, organised by the Men's Health Forum, will encourage men and boys to be more physically active. From relieving stress and anxiety to losing weight and reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes, physical activity has lots going for it.

To coincide with the upcoming FIFA World Cup and National Men's Health Week, Blyth Valley’s Make-a-Move leisure inclusion team have teamed up with local partners including the Tony Blair Sports Foundation, Northumberland NHS and the Newcastle United Foundation to run a World Cup Road Show across South East Northumberland.

For 5 days next week the World Cup Road Show will host an afternoon of sports and exercise activities to take part in whilst watching two live World Cup group games on a big screen. As well as free health checks, football shootout competition, cycling, and an indoor rowing challenge the Tony Blair Sports Foundation will also be advising on how they can help you to train as volunteer sports coaches.

Best of all, this whole event is FREE of charge, so come along and enjoy the day!

All events start at 12 noon – 5pm at the following venues:

Bedlington Salvation Army, Monday 14th

Morpeth Town Hall, Tuesday 15th

Blyth Sports Centre, Wednesday 16th

Ashington Hirst Welfare, Thursday 17th
