Contact Kirsty Letham, Health & Wellbeing Officer: Wellbeing@eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk

We also have an ongoing wellness offer for staff and volunteers throughout the year. It's all free, great for your health and wellbeing, fun, and available to everyone across ERC and HSCP (including NHS staff).

All classes are suitable for all fitness levels, and we have made sure that there is something for everyone, however some classes are more challenging than others, and we would advise you to come along for a taster session to see if it suits you.

Please speak to your GP if you have any health concerns before attending.

Why not bring a colleague and try the session together, or as a team? Please follow the booking instructions below.

The activities on offer have been chosen based on feedback from staff/volunteer wellbeing surveys, and wellbeing conversations with individuals and teams across the HSCP.

Here are some of the things you told us you'd like a chance to take part in that will help keep you well in work - and we hope it does just that.
