Let’s get active! That’s the message to all Stockport residents from some of the borough’s biggest sporting stars.

With 2010 here, local people are being encouraged to make a fresh start for the New Year by getting fitter, healthier and more active. To help everyone keep their New Year’s resolutions, the Council and Stockport Sports Trust have re-launched the Active Stockport campaign to help people fit more physical activity into their daily lives.

As part of the Stockport Boost programme, Active Stockport aims to help people of all ages improve their fitness levels and do the five, 30 minute sessions of physical activity per week that Government guidelines recommend. And to encourage all Stockport residents to fit more exercise into their daily routine, the borough’s sporting stars, including Stockport Metro swimmers Kerri-Anne Payne and Cassie Patten and Stockport County footballer Paul Gerrard, have given the Active Stockport campaign the big thumbs up.

To find out more about how the Active Stockport campaign can help you get fitter, healthier and more active, visit: www.stockport.gov.uk/active or call Stockport Sports Trust on 0161 433 4070.
