The Physical Health & Wellbeing Team at Barnsley Recovery College offers personalised activity sessions designed to support mental wellbeing through physical activity. The team is made up of peer support workers and volunteers who have used physical activity to help their own mental health and now share this experience with others. Sessions cover a range of activities to suit different interests and abilities, including walking, running, cycling, and team sports such as football and netball. More recently, boxercise has been introduced on the Recovery College lawn. All activities are peer-led, inclusive, safe, and friendly, with sessions updated regularly and subject to change. Enrolment for activities is via phone through the Recovery College on 01226 730433. Contact details for the team are provided below for general enquiries and specific activities. Cost information is not stated on the website.
