Thank you!”

In-person group 8-week courses

based in Brixham, Paignton and Torquay 

This is a fun and inspiring course where you can explore themes that will help you to stay active, maintain your fitness, relax, eat well, sleep well, think well, socialise more, improve motivation, challenge yourself, try new things, create goals and  live with purpose – in a way that fits with your lifestyle and ambitions.

Modules are delivered by our experienced team in a supportive group environment and as part of the course we will provide you with opportunities to join local events and activity sessions and connect you to local support networks.

The course presents simple and practical steps that we can all use to get our motivation back. It is all about empowerment and choosing goals to move forward positively to support your own health and wellbeing—and an opportunity to focus on yourself and your loved ones. So, if you are able to commit to attending a half day weekly course over 8 weeks, please contact: Jess Slade 07772 023170 jessslade@torbaycdt.org.uk
