A gentle push in the right direction!

In November 2018, Active Northumberland was awarded a Sport England grant to help new mams get active.

As a new mam, you might be unclear about the type and amount of exercise that is appropriate during and after pregnancy, or about the benefits that exercise can bring. Here at Active Northumberland we are keen to help support and encourage new mams to take part in exercise.

We offer a range of low cost ante natal and post natal 'Mams on the Move' classes which are specially designed for mams-to-be as well as new mams and are supervised, FUN and very sociable!

Mams on the Move – FREE ‘Time for YOU’ sessions
STARTING FROM MONDAY 15th FEB!

There’s a quote we love at Mams on the Move and never has it been so true as during these difficult times:

‘You were someone before you were their mam and that person matters!’

We know that being a mam or mam-to-be is one of the best feelings in the world but life is pretty tough at the moment and it’s natural to feel all sorts of emotions from anxiety, worry and stress to feeling overwhelmed and just not quite yourself.

Our FREE ‘Time for YOU’ Zoom sessions are specially designed for mams and mams-to-be to help put aside some well-deserved time for you, whilst supporting you emotionally during these challenging times.

Our wellness coaches Rachel and Julie will be running the following ‘Time for YOU’ sessions via Zoom:

‘Restore, relax and rejuvenate’ with Rachel

Living life to the full: ‘How to get the most out of the life we are living’ with Julie
