A HEALTHY lifestyle course is being made available to people in Newton Aycliffe.

The Passport to Health course will run at Silverdale Community House, every Tuesday for 12 weeks from 10.30am to 12.30pm, starting next Tuesday.

Activities will include healthy cooking and tasting and participants will receive a free recipe book.

There will also be gentle exercise, free complementary therapy sessions, basic first aid advice and information on how to cope with stress.

Everyone who attends will receive their own passport for which they can collect stamps to trade for prizes.

Passport to Health co-ordinator Lisa Nevens said: "Since the courses began just over a year ago they have proved to be successful and often over-subscribed.

"Anyone living in Newton Aycliffe and the surrounding area is welcome to come along and enjoy the fun."

Early booking is recommended and anyone interested can contact Becky Gustard on (01325) 321234.
