As we step into the New Year, many of us look for ways to improve our health, both physically and mentally. Red January is a movement designed to inspire us to get active every day in January, not only to improve our fitness but also to boost mental wellbeing. At Rossendale Leisure Trust, we’re here to support you on this journey with a wide range of activities and facilities to suit all abilities and preferences.
Here’s how we can help you make Red January a success:
1. Free Wellbeing Walks Every Weekday
Walking is one of the simplest and most effective ways to stay active. Whether you’re new to exercise or just enjoy a gentle pace, our free wellbeing walks are the perfect way to get moving, meet like-minded people, and enjoy the stunning beauty of Rossendale. These walks take place every weekday and are led by friendly guides who ensure everyone feels welcome.

2. Take to the Track at Marl Pits
If you’re looking to push yourself a little further, why not visit the running track at Marl Pits? Whether you’re walking, jogging, or running, the track offers a safe and supportive environment to get your steps in. Set yourself a goal, track your progress, and enjoy the fresh air as you get closer to achieving it.

3. Coffee and Community at The Ashcroft
Staying active isn’t just about physical movement—it’s also about staying socially connected. Every Thursday morning, we host a coffee morning at The Ashcroft, where you can relax, chat, and enjoy a warm drink. It’s a great way to combine activity with community.

5. Book a Game of Tennis, Squash, or Badminton
If you prefer more competitive or skill-based activities, take advantage of our park tennis courts throughout the valley, or enjoy a session of squash or badminton at Adrenaline, Haslingden. These activities are not only fun but also great for improving coordination, endurance, and mental focus.
