The council is reminding residents that a range of online activities is available on the Active East Riding website: www.ActiveEastRiding.co.uk
The website is full of ideas and suggestions for people of all ages during this period when many of the council’s facilities are closed and people cannot socialise as normal.
For those who are having to spend more time at home, the council is encouraging people to discover things to do, to learn from and to take part in whilst there.
The site was originally launched during the first lockdown in April, and has been regularly updated ever since, with a range of activities and ideas.
Examples include learning how to draw cartoons, listening to audiobooks, enjoying virtual visits to over 80 exhibitions online and trying out puzzles.
East Riding Leisure
All East Riding Leisure Centres are now closed. Members will be contacted in due course.
