Northamptonshire Sports Partnership is launching the Everyday Sport campaign in the county with a Physical Activity & Wellbeing Week from 4th – 12th March 2006.

During the week a programme of community based activities and events will be taking place across the county, organised in partnership with a variety of local clubs, groups and organisations.

NSport are also hosting three Everyday Sport Roadshows in the county that will be visiting the following venues:

Daventry – New Street Car Park on Saturday 4th March, 11.00am – 5.00pm

Northampton - Abingdon Street on Friday 10th March, 10.00am – 4.00pm

Corby - Town Centre on Saturday 11th March, 11.00am – 5.00pm

The Roadshow is an opportunity for all to learn more about leading a healthier lifestyle with free information and advice to take away about healthy eating, physical activity and smoking cessation. There will be a variety of activities on offer to take part in and watch, such as dance and sports activities, exercise classes, health walks and cycle safety.

Everyday Sport is a national campaign, which aims to encourage more people to become more physically active. The Government backed campaign, which was nationally launched by Sport England in September 2005, aims to increase people’s awareness levels of the importance and benefits of incorporating physical activity into their everyday lives. Whether it’s a lunchtime kick about or an evening spent walking the dog, Everyday Sport can be a fun and easy way for everyone to improve their health.
