Cardiac rehab sessions are among a number of exercise and wellbeing sessions being held in Fenland this month. 

Fenland District Council's Active Fenland, which provides free and low cost activities across the district, has also added free adult and children’s tennis sessions as well as tea dances to its programme.

The phase four cardiac rehab classes are being launched in March and Whittlesey and are only available for people with a referral form from a medical professional. 

Active Fenland secures grant funding to provide opportunities for people to live more active lives, especially where they might face additional barriers to do so.

In April, Easter Active Fenland family sessions were provided at March and Whittlesey libraries.

Fenland District Council portfolio holder for leisure Cllr Alex Miscandlon said: “Active Fenland regularly adds free and low-cost sessions to its programme, so do see what’s available.

“There’s a wide range of exercise, activity and wellness sessions across the district to help with the efforts of the council and our partners in improving the wellbeing of our residents for the benefit of us all.”

Cardiac sessions take place between 1.45pm to 3.30pm on Monday, May 20, at George Campbell Leisure Centre, City Road, March, PE15 9LT.

Sessions cost £3 each and can be booked and paid for directly at the leisure centre. Sessions include tea and coffee afterwards.
