Blackburn with Darwen Council and the re:fresh team are dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of the people living and working in our borough.

They understand that sometimes starting a journey to a more active lifestyle can be a scary prospect and that some people need some extra support.  Whether it’s because you’re living with a long term condition or if exercise is not something you’ve ever tried before.  You might be expecting or have just had a baby and you’re not sure what is safe for you to do.  It could be that age is making you a bit unsteady on your feet.  It could just be that you don’t have the confidence to start something new.  If any of these sound familiar then the RE:FRESH team and the Wellbeing Service are here to help.
