New
Active Living Centre launches in Highbridge
 A
brand new Active Living Centre for residents over 50 opened in
Highbridge on Tuesday (February 5th).
The
facility, in Morland Hall, Pearce Drive, was officially opened
during a ceremony attended by Highbridge County Councillor Rosemary
Parsons, local PCSOs, members of the Stroke Club and Sue
Quatermass, local Community Development Worker.
The centre caters for local residents over 50 and organises a
wide variety of events activities which also give elderly people
the chance to meet each other.
Sue
Quatermass told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "There was an opportunity
on the opening day for those in attendance to let the organisers
know what it is they want to be involved in and to have their
say about what the centre could provide."
 "Those
who came along were able to try easy, fun exercise and hear about
taking care of their hearts and blood pressure."
Volunteers
from the Stroke Club, working with the newly formed Sedgemoor
Community Partnership, have been supported by the Regeneration
Partnership and Age Concern in developing the new Active Living
Centre.
