Stride Yorkshire

Another fantastic evening at our monthly Stride Social event!

This month’s quiz theme was all things cartoons, and it definitely brought out everyone’s competitive streak in the best possible way. From nostalgic classics to modern favourites, there were plenty of laughs, a few tricky questions, and lots of friendly rivalry along the way.

We really value our Stride Socials as they give both our clients and coaches the chance to step away from training, unwind, and enjoy some relaxed time together. It’s always great to see everyone chatting, connecting, and getting just a little bit competitive while still having a genuinely great time.

We’re already looking forward to the next one, especially as we’re switching things up with a Movies theme! We can't wait!

Another fantastic evening at Goals recently, filled with football, teamwork, and plenty of laughter from start to finish.

It was brilliant to see everyone getting stuck in again, with a great mix of energy, effort, and encouragement on and off the pitch. These sessions always have such a positive atmosphere, where it doesn’t matter whether you’re scoring goals, making assists, or just having a laugh with teammates, it’s all about enjoying the game and being part of it together.

It was also LW’s first time at Goals, and he absolutely loved it! He settled in straight away, got involved in the action, and quickly became part of the group. So much so, he’s joining us again!

We absolutely love these monthly football sessions. They’re a great opportunity to bring everyone together regularly, catch up, and share a few hours of football in a relaxed and welcoming environment. It’s not just about staying active (although that’s a big bonus), but also about building connections, boosting morale, and enjoying something we all genuinely look forward to each month.

Already counting down to the next one! ⚽️

KM enjoyed an extended session, giving us the opportunity to do something a little different. We spent the afternoon exploring the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, which proved to be the perfect destination.

As someone with a keen interest in history, KM thoroughly enjoyed discovering the fascinating exhibits and learning more about historical artefacts, armour, and weapons from different periods. The visit provided plenty of opportunities for discussion, exploration, and engagement with topics that KM finds particularly interesting.

It was a fantastic way to make the most of the extended session, combining learning, enjoyment, and a chance to explore a unique cultural attraction. A memorable afternoon and a great experience all round. 😊🏰📜

Our Craft Club on 19th May was a fantastic success, with even more clients joining us for a creative afternoon. Clients and coaches enjoyed making beautiful floral wreaths, and the finished creations looked amazing!

It was wonderful to see everyone having fun, expressing their creativity, and spending time together. We absolutely love our Craft Club sessions, and judging by the smiles, our clients and coaches do too. 💙
