AKActive understand that the Covid-19 pandemic has been isolating for so many, and want to support the people of Preston to get healthy, whilst supporting a worthy charity.

AKActive, ‘Lancashire’s best mental health supporting gym’, said the aim is to give people inspiration to get out into the world, be accountable, boost mental health and become closer to the people of Lancashire in our connected group.

The challenges will begin on Monday, 8 February and will run for six weeks.
