The Norley Nippers need you! 💚

Last month, our Community Health Improvement team joined forces with Boxing For Better for their first joint community litter pick in Norley Hall.

Together, they helped tidy up the local area before sitting down for a well earned brew and a chat about the things that matter most in their community ☕💬

The event was such a success that the group decided to make it a regular fixture and even gave themselves a name... The Norley Nippers! 🙌

Fancy getting involved? You'll find them next on:
📅 Monday 16 November
⏰ 9.30am
📍 Norley Hall Community Centre

Come along, make a positive difference to your local area, meet like-minded people and share your ideas for the future of your community.

We'd love to see you there! 👋

🎉 Be Well Wigan's MOVE Together Month smashed every expectation! 🎉

What started as a target of 10 million MOVES quickly became 15 million... then 20 million... and thanks to YOU, we finished on an incredible 22.1 MILLION MOVES! 💪🔥

👏 A huge thank you to the 2,179 members who signed up and got involved across all seven Be Well Wigan leisure centres.

Some incredible highlights from the month:
✅ 22.1 million MOVES achieved (110% of our final target!)
✅ 86% of participants actively took part
✅ 27% of all active gym members signed up
✅ Over 2,100 members joined the challenge

🏆 Congratulations to Leigh Leisure Centre, our overall winners!
🥇 5.35 million MOVES
🥇 560 sign-ups
🥇 90% participation rate
🥇 Nearly 40% of active members took part

Not forgetting a fantastic effort also from Standish Leisure Centre, who secured an impressive second place with:
🥈 3.67 million MOVES
🥈 The highest average MOVES per participating member (14.5k)

Plus, a special mention to Wigan Life Centre - Healthy Living Zone, who produced a huge late surge to climb from 5th place into 3rd in the final week! 🚀

And how about the battle for 4th and 5th place? Just 20,000 MOVEs separated Howe Bridge Leisure Centre and Ashton Leisure Centre at the finish line! 😲

More than just a challenge, MOVE Together Month was designed to get people moving more, spark conversations between members and fitness staff, and help everyone feel part of something bigger. Judging by the incredible engagement and support across our centres, we'd say mission accomplished 💚

Tell us below 👇 What was your favourite part of MOVE Together Month, and would you like to see the challenge return in 2027?
