Our Sunnd Health & Wellbeing programme aims to provide opportunities for the community and to support all to have a high quality of life, by remaining active, healthy, safe and included. The initiative began in the spring of 2018 as a pilot scheme for individuals over the age of 60 in partnership with the local ‘Young at Heart’ club. It has since opened up to all members of the community.
This year’s programme features a variety of health & fitness, arts and culture, and advice sessions, including salsa dancing, strength training, cookery demos, money tips for young people, and lots more. In this leaflet you will find a brief summary of what we have lined up for you for 2026 - you will find the full programme below, in Fios and in regular updates on our Facebook & Instagram: @urrasog.
Most Spors Nìs events are drop-in sessions, Adult Hoop and Over 45's fitness must be booked in advance via bookwhen.com/sunnd-activities. Please view the specific event details in our programme PDF below for information on where to book all sessions.

Sunnd aims & objectives
Safe in the Community
It is important to feel safe in your community and online. It is essential to have the knowledge of potential online and doorstep crimes and be aware of the key prevention advice.
Self Caring
It’s important to take good care of yourself to try and reduce pains and discomfort. Self-care can mean various things to different people, but can include things such as good footcare, and improved physical and mental health.
Safe at Home
Staying safe at home is key to remaining independent. Small measures can be taken to improve home safety and help prevent trips and falls as well as other serious accidents, including house fires.
Healthy Eating
Eating a healthy, balanced diet plays an essential role in overall good health. In order to feel good it’s important to eat a wide variety of foods in the right proportions to achieve and maintain a healthy body.
Active Living
Living an active lifestyle doesn’t have to mean running marathons (although that’s great too!). Physical activity contributes to the ease of doing everyday activities and is extremely important for better movement, enhances fitness, injury prevention and promotes functional health.
