Shout out to the amazing, committed and energetic Active Communities Team at Slough Borough Council. We love your determination to break down barriers to physical activity and boost public health. With almost 30 TGO gyms installed or coming soon to parks in Slough, the Council are making inclusive physical activity free for all residents. Now, Slough's network of TGO Gyms are a central part of a major public health campaign in Slough called #Fit2FightCovid, which aims to increase physical activity, tackle obesity and reduce smoking.
In the fightback against Covid-19, it's vital that we all take regular doses of movement medicine, to boost our immunity and prevent major lifestyle-related illnesses including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Regular physical activity in the great outdoors can help with depression and anxiety, which have spiked this year due to lockdowns and social distancing measures.
