MARCH - GET ACTIVE, GET HEALTHY

With the days getting longer and the weather improving, it's the perfect time to get out and get active. If sport is your thing, why not see if you can find a local sports club or centre that suits you? If you're starting to think about outdoor activities, orienteering, canoeing and camping, try contacting your local scouts or guides, you can search for local groups on Activities Oxfordshire. If you're more interested in wildlife and conservation, then there are plenty of opportunities to get do your bit; why not see if there's a green gym near you (there's one in Abingdon!) or search for environment in the Do it database to find out about green volunteering opportunities near you.

Find an activity : the basics

• Visit Activities Oxfordshire.com
• Search for an activity you're interested in, e.g. tennis or street dance, or;
• Search for activities near you, e.g. in Didcot or Marston
