Beat the Street is coming to transform Wigston and South Wigston into a giant free game from 21st April - 19th May! A Beat the Street card or fob is swiped at sensors (Beat Boxes), mounted on lampposts across the area. Players gather points as they walk, cycle, scoot or run between Beat Boxes and climb the leaderboard for their school, community group or themselves as they progress. Great prizes are up for grabs!

Here at Active Oadby & Wigston, we have an exciting new volunteer opportunity to help local residents to build physical activity into their lives in a friendly and supportive way. The role will involve committing to safe, regular weekly walks with local residents who may be isolated and/or inactive due to the pandemic. You will complete a short, informative virtual workshop to assist you, as well as receive regular support from our dedicated volunteer coordinator.
All activity will be provided in line with the latest government guidance around outdoor physical activity.
