Last month Seashell held the Local Pilot Forum on campus in The Moulding Foundation Building.

The Local Pilot is a Sport England funded programme that has brought together local authorities in Greater Manchester to create sustainable change and support people from all backgrounds, ages and abilities to live healthier lifestyles, access activities and get active.

The forum was an opportunity for Stockport to share their learning to other local authorities.

Gemma Lynch, Head of Active from Seashell said,

“The Local Pilot has been a work in progress for the past few years where we have all worked hard to make positive changes to people in our communities. Today has been a great opportunity to take a step back, appreciate all the work we have done, learn from one another and plan for the future. It’s been a privilege to show people around our fantastic new facility.”

There were talks from Life Leisure and Age UK about their work in Brinnington, Active Communities experience (A.C.E), Russ Boaler -Consultant for Physical Education, Sport & Physical Activity, Beyond Empower and Seashell.

Attendee’s were given a tour of Seashell’s new facilities including the Bertie Broome Swimming Pool and Hydrotherapy pool. They even got the chance to take a ride on The Bradbury Cycling Centre! Using a range of inclusive bikes.
