We have been successful in our bids to Community Committee and Housing Advisory Panel for the Inner North West to secure funding for our LS6 Activites and to offer these activities to participants with no FEE!
This funding supports our Get Active and Online classes! These are targeted exercise classes taught online via Zoom. They are taught online to provide an accessible easy but still fun form of exercise for older adults perhaps isolated in their homes and unable to get themselves to in-person classes etc. We have a captive audience who love the classes and truly find health and social benefits from the classes and have integrated our exercise into their routines. We offer 5 exercise classes a week, including Seated and Standing Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and Cardio. By signing up to our mailing list, you’ll receive the schedule for the week with Zoom links to each class included so you can Get Active and Online from the comfort of your own home! No prior experience is necessary, all ages and abilities are welcome!

Our second activity funded by the Council is our West Leeds Women’s Walking Football Team! Our first friendly match is Monday, November 7th at 7:30 pm! Join us at Leeds Goals in Kirkstall to meet others and get some exercise! This is welcome to all abilities so grab some trainers & a bottle of water and come along!
Another section of our Inner Northwest Activities Project is offering 1-2-1s for over 50s living in LS6. This is a free 1-2-1 fitness consultation with our trained instructor. We are offering our expertise to help you keep fit in a way that suits YOU! After a consultation with you, we will take into account any conditions/disabilities, your lifestyle, your current exercise regime, and your fitness goals to compose a personal fitness plan with available exercises and attainable goals!
If this is something you’d be interested in, email victoria@yourbackard.org.uk to sign up!
Lastly, we have will be offering FREE Yoga classes at Woodhouse Community Centre for all ages and abilites! We are also bringing back our widely popular Boxercise classes for under 16s, also at Woodhouse Community Centre. We will have updates for you shortly regarding these classes so stay tuned!
We want to say a HUGE thank you to Leeds City Council’s Housing Advisory Panel And Inner Northwest Community Committee! We are so excited about this initiative!
