Live Longer Better – Bedford -starting 7th September

LLBB

Welcome to our new activities programme aimed at people aged 60yrs & over, this is a re-brand of our Over 70s program.

We are running four pilot sessions in September to gauge the interest of participants and to gather information from those people who attend regarding what they would like to see included in these sessions moving forward.

If you would like to see an activity included in our main program (which we will start later in the year) please email – Alison.brightman@bedford.gov.uk  –  please note that whilst we will consider all suggestions we cannot guarantee to include them all

Please come along and join us on the 7th September, no need to book – just turn up at John Bunyan Sports and Fitness, Mile Road, Bedford and pay on the day
