DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN BRIGG SAYS COUNCILLOR

 
FROM NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

Launched in 2012, the Do Something Different programme provides a wide range of sport, leisure and cultural activities for anyone aged over 16 with a physical or mental disability, allowing them to try something new in a fun, safe environment.
The new programme of events now includes activities on every day of the week, at sites across North Lincolnshire.
We have added some brand new sessions to the Do Something Different timetable, including Fun, Games and Physical Activities on a Monday evening at Scunthorpe Community Wellbeing Hub, and Fun, Active Games and Museum Activities at Barton Community Wellbeing Hub on Wednesday afternoon.
The timetable also features some old favourites. Due to their popularity, Multi-Sport and Archery and Table Tennis sessions at The Pods have been running since the project began five years ago.
You can download a full timetable of events online at www.northlincs.gov.uk/dosomethingdifferent or contact our Disability Development Officer, Telle Medhurst on telle.medhurst@northlincs.gov.uk or call 07717 587270. 

Coun Carl Sherwood (Brigg & Wolds), Cabinet Member for Community Wellbeing at North Lincolnshire Council, pictured above, said: "Since we launched the Do Something Different project, it has gone from strength to strength with people taking part in a range of activities they never thought they would do.
“The new timetable includes some old favourites and some brand new activities; if you’ve never been along to a session before, why not come along and try something new?”
As well as a full weekly timetable of activities, there are two adapted bicycles available for free hire throughout the year at Normanby Hall Country Park. Please call the Hall on 01724 720588 to book these before your visit.
