Get in 2 it

Getting more people, more active, more often

From low cost sport, dance and leisure sessions for 9 to 25 year olds, to aerobics for the over 50s, through to helping people with disabilities to access the leisure facilities and classes, Lichfield District Council’s Getin2it programme aims to encourage more people across the district to be physically active.
