Council’s Fit for Free initiative boosts health and wellbeing for hundreds of residents
Comments Off on Council’s Fit for Free initiative boosts health and wellbeing for hundreds of residentsNorth Lincolnshire Council is celebrating the early success of its Fit for Free initiative, a health and well-being programme to support older residents, and individuals with learning disabilities, across the region.
Launched on 1 April 2025, the scheme offers eight weeks of complimentary off-peak access to swimming, gym facilities, and virtual fitness classes.
It is open to residents aged 66 and over and residents aged 16 and above with a learning disability, and aims to:
• Encourage more active lifestyles
• Enhance physical and mental well-being
• Reduce social isolation among target groups
Between April and July, the programme has already seen 788 participants across seven leisure sites.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “Fit for Free is about more than just fitness – it’s about opportunity, connection, and giving people the tools to live healthier, happier lives.
“We made a promise to support our older residents through the cost of living challenges, and this initiative is part of keeping that promise. By removing financial barriers, we’re helping people stay active, connected and well, physically and mentally.”
Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for safer, stronger communities (rural), added: “This initiative is also a vital part of our wider plan to support residents with complex needs, including those with learning disabilities, to live more independently.
“By investing in accessible health and well-being opportunities, we’re empowering people to take control of their lives and build confidence in their communities.”
