FoRP are based in Rhyddings Park – we support the Rhyddings Community in Oswaldtwistle and beyond. Our main focus is delivery of activities that support people to be well – using the NHS 5 steps to well being as our guide.
We offer activities to everyone regardless of disability, gender, race etc
Our activities include Chair Based Exercise, Health Walks / Chatterbox for people with Learning Disability and Autism, Bootcamps, Health Walks for all, Gardening, Mindful Activities, Yoga, QiGong, Relaxation Days, Support groups for people with anxiety & stress / overcoming low mood and depression. We run community support groups such as Rhyddings Wombles – litter picking around the park, this provides exercise and friendship along with helping the environment.
We encourage everyone to be active in a supportive, friendly environment. Activities usually have a brew afterwards as reducing social isolation is as important as being active.
Our Kitchen Garden is a place for fresh air, space, planting, growing, harvesting, exercise, friendship, promotion of plot to pot and well being.
