Suicide Prevention

It is completely normal to feel stressed and anxious in challenging times such as this and to feel this way does not mean we are failing. However if your mental or emotional state quickly gets worse at any time, or you’re worried about someone you know, you can seek urgent help or advice from various sources of support.

Everyone Active

Everyone Active, as part of their portfolio of more than 190 leisure centres nationally, manage 9 leisure facilities on behalf of, and in partnership with, Middlesbrough Council and Redcar and Cleveland Council.

Everyone Active’s leisure centres across the region provide a breadth of high quality leisure provision that is accessible to all.  As you might expect, Everyone Active’s provision includes gyms, swimming pools, 3G football pitches and sports halls; what might come as more of a surprise is their wider provision that includes a regional standard outdoor and indoor athletics facility, a golf course, a 1km cycle circuit, a 250m velodrome and even a surfing simulator.

Everyone Active’s mission is to encourage everyone they come into contact with to participate in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five times per week.  We at the Live Well Centre are strongly supportive of encouraging our community to be more active and, as such, we are proud to work in partnership with Everyone Active toward this aim.
