Pedal Power comes to Tyldesley! 🚲

On Saturday afternoon, the Pelican Centre teamed up with Be Well Wigan to bring a brand new & free safe cycling event to Tyldesley, allowing members of our community to enjoy a bike ride & to get bike repairs sorted with the Dr Bike team.

It was fantastic to see members & non-members keeping active & riding away with a safer bike, ready for the autumn.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, as well as Wigan’s Be Well & Dr Bike team for helping us put on a great event.

Keep your eyes peeled for more events like this in the future, but in the meantime, don’t forget to make good use of our new bike storage unit at the front of the Centre.

📚 This new report caught our eye today, finding that reading for pleasure at any age can improve your health & wellbeing. No matter what you read, reading boosts mental health whilst reducing the risk of mental decline.

We believe that reading away from a screen every day is so important, we made it one of our Feel Good 5! Are you getting your daily Read in?

(And for anyone wondering, your Pelican admin gets stuck into a book for 20-30 mins every lunch break!)

University of Cambridge academics say reading at any age improves brain and mental health.
