Healthy lifestyles
An issue of growing importance in this country. All Cheshire Danec activities have broad physical and mental health benefits whilst some are designed specifically around identified health needs, including training and participatory activities with people with disabilities, older people, and teenage mums to name but a few. In a recent study conducted by the Local Authority, Cheshire Dance was highlighted as a key organisation in the delivery of its healthy living and quality of life remit.
