The Movement Centre is launching a new campaign this May to encourage more exercise, and to raise vital funds for its work at the centre based near Oswestry.

There’s no need to be an athlete, simply set your own targets. You could walk around your garden, attend a Zumba class, cycle to work or run 10km? It’s your choice…

So far, Oswestry Leisure Centre and Aico have blown it out the water when it comes to crazy ideas.

Staff and customers at Oswestry Leisure Centre can take part in a bounce-athon on its bouncy castle. Participants will be asked to make a small contribution towards the charity’s work.

What could be more fun than being on a bouncy castle? A good, old-fashioned sports day!

Aico is asking its staff to participate in a traditional, school-style sports day to encourage teams to Move More in May – while still having plenty of fun!

Rebecca Cumblidge, Finance Clerk at Aico said: “Aico colleagues are excited to be supporting The Movement Centre with its Move More in May campaign, we can all take our ability to move with ease for granted from time to time and this is a challenge to make us think.

“Head office colleagues will be competing in Aico Sports Day which will include classic events like three-legged race and egg and spoon race. This will be a companywide campaign with some fun and interesting ways to move more along with an opportunity to raise funds for a charity close to Aico’s heart.”

The Movement Centre is looking forward to launching this new campaign for 2022 and invites individuals, businesses, schools and community groups to get in touch to find out more.
