The long-awaited Foyer gym space is now open, kindly built by Derry Building Services. Derry Building Services renovated the gym as part of their social value project while building the Health Innovation College in Dudley.
Aligned with our wellbeing strategy, which focuses on the 5 ways to wellbeing: 1) Be Active, 2) Connect, 3) Take Notice, 4) Keep Learning, and 5) Give to Others, we wanted a space for both young people and staff to relax, connect, and improve their fitness.
We provide a water fountain and healthy fruit snacks to support hydration and nutrition, especially as the cost of living impacts our young people.
Additionally, we hold regular cooking classes every Monday, and we plan to collaborate with Jason and Maddie to create an affordable healthy meal plan to complement Jason’s training program in the New Year. With the newly refurbished gym, we feel we truly embody the 5 ways to wellbeing!
