A leisure centre that specialises in helping people with spinal injuries will host its first ‘disability exercise’ open day.

The aim of the open day, which is being held by Aspire Leisure Centre in Stanmore, is to show the variety of sports and activities that are available for disabled people, offering tasters and information.

Activities available on the day – which include golf and dance to water walking and seated yoga - will be free. Anyone is welcome to join in and give the activities a try.

Brian Carlin, CEO of Aspire, said: “We are delighted to be hosting our first disability exercise open day.

“The Aspire leisure centre was the first fully accessible training centre in Europe for disabled and non-disabled people, and around a third of our members are disabled.

“I hope that the open day will increase awareness for disabled people of the many different types of exercise and activities which are available for them to participate in.”

The event will be held on Saturday April 18 from 9am to 2pm.
