Web relaunch for re:fresh

re:fresh has an exciting new website with a wealth of information including listings of leisure activities, community events and health and wellbeing information.

Since the launch of re:fresh in 2008, the scheme has been hugely successful across Blackburn with Darwen in encouraging people to get active and boost their health and wellbeing. 

The new site allows users to search by activity, venue, postcode and day so that you can easily find leisure activities to suit you. You can also register to receive regular e-newsletters to keep you updated on news, events and activities.

re:fresh offers access to a wide ranging programme of free leisure and physical activity. From high energy dance classes to gentle aerobics for the elderly and mums-to-be or team sports to bike rides in local parks, the new site lists them all.  

As well as all the latest news and activities from council run leisure services, the site will also show a whole host of activities taking place across the borough from other organisations, such as exercise classes held by charity groups and events hosted by independent sports clubs.

Local organisations and clubs that are holding health and wellbeing activities can also get in touch and promote their activities on the re:fresh website. 

Contact details and information on a wide range of other health and wellbeing services such as the falls prevention team, older people’s forum, health trainers and many more are available on the site. There are also tips on healthy eating and how to get active.

Councillor Damian Talbot, executive member for leisure and culture, said: “The new site is a brilliant one-stop-shop for leisure and health services and really shows the wealth of activities that we have in our borough. 

“We’re determined to get more people enjoying the benefits of physical activity and build on the successes we’ve already seen with re:fresh so far.”
