In a bid to get residents more active, a new project “Let’s Go Powys”, promoting countywide sport and activity opportunities has been launched.
In response to a survey revealing the difficulty locals have in finding diverse physical activities, the aim of the Let’s Go Powys website is to provide inspiration for adults.
“It was clear from the survey feedback from residents that having one website to find and share activities was very much needed,” explains Elin Wozencraft from Sport Powys.
She also added: “Let’s Go Powys offers everyone – residents and visitors – an opportunity to easily find enjoyable activities which are right for them…”
Let’s Go Powys features case studies of various individuals who have benefited from finding a sport or activity that suits them.
Phil Tovey, 75, is part of a walking rugby team which he set up at Crickhowell Rugby Club.
He has said: “You don’t need to have played rugby before, as walking rugby is for everyone.
“It’s almost like the rugby we used to play; the buzz is the same, the enjoyment of helping your team, using your skills and the camaraderie.
“It’s like turning the clock back.”
