Our brochure highlights all of the great programmes and activities that Link4Life delivers in the heart of the local communities within Rochdale. We are excited to launch our new extended Children and Young Peoples Programme and can now proudly offer a lower cost alternative to holiday childcare. Across our centres, we have some exciting new sessions that are themed so your little ones can enjoy exploring dragons in Easter to a very mythical May half term. It’s non-stop fun! We’ve also launched some new sessions for the under 5’s called Yogini’s and Mini Movers. Yogini sessions help your child to move, stretch and learn to balance with fun songs and children’s characters. These sessions provide the opportunity for our local parents to socialise, and children to learn new physical and social skills. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer. More details can be found on page 10. Our Skills4Sport qualification provides excellent opportunities for people looking for a first step into employment or a change of career into the leisure industry. Further, we offer other qualifications, advice, training and volunteer opportunities to ensure you gain new skills and experience. This, together with our support, we hope will lead you to find future employment opportunities. See page 22 for more information.
