As everyone will be aware, we are all living under Tier 2 social distancing restrictions.
What this reinforces is the need for those who are running physical activity sessions to follow their relevant National Governing Body or Sport England guidance to minimise the risk of spreading the virus in our district.
Here is the most recent general guidance from Bradford Council - if you've not done so already there is the option to receive email updates from the Council.

A toolkit has also been created for those who are working to get people active informally or formally. Please consider using the key messages within the pack to talk to your partners and communities about what is allowed, and encourage people to stay active in whatever way is right for them.

Cycling skills
As the move to make the district more 'active travel' friendly continues, there will be adults and children alike who may want to cycle but not yet have the confidence.
CityConnect have teamed up with local cycle coach Emily at ReadySteadyPedal to produce videos for those who would benefit from learning or re-learning cycling skills: www.cyclecityconnect.co.uk/get-cycling/family-cycling/
Adult, socially distanced, cycling lessons are also on offer through CityConnect: www.cyclecityconnect.co.uk/get-cycling/adult-cycle-training/

Ways to stay active!
Whilst the district remains cautious to the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) there are many people who will feel more comfortable staying at home to exercise. It's even more important that these people are reminded that there are different things they can do to keep as active as they can be.
The Stay Active section of our website includes ways to be active across all of our life course groups.
We've placed these on the website so you can copy and paste them to use in your email newsletters, social media posts; however you communicate with your audiences.
Take a look and let us know if you know of an activity that you think should be included, particularly if it's from a local organisation or group.
