Making everyday active in Canterbury
Hi, I’m Caroline and I’m the Everyday Active Champion for Canterbury. I have a real passion for this community and I want to encourage people to become more active. Here are some of the great activities happening in and around the local area. If you would like to talk about getting more active around Canterbury, then please reach out to me.

CALM Football Sessions
Using football, CALM Football provides people with an outlet to reflect on their mental health and share experiences. Whether it’s been a long week and you need something to focus on, or a conversation with like-minded people, CALM Football can provide the half-time break you need.
Everyday Active have developed 10 walking routes that can be enjoyed from the centre of Kent and Medway’s largest towns. Each route consists of at least one “Active 10”, and – because each one starts from a town centre – is designed to fit around your daily life.
