Muslim Male Health and Wellbeing Programme

Closing the Gap, in conjunction with the Muslim Association of Craigavon, is running a new eight week Muslim Male Health and Wellbeing Programme which will commence on Tuesday 13th January 2015, at 7.00pm, in the Legahory Centre, Craigavon, Co. Armagh.  The aim of this programme is to promote and encourage physical activity amongst males currently not considered active, to develop interaction between men, and to help sustain new local networks which encourage positive mental health by increasing engagement and interaction.  The programme will provide weekly health information for men, and will address their health issues (particularly physical activity, heart disease, cancer, healthy eating, mental health, physical activity, drugs, alcohol and smoking).  Participants will benefit from a health check at the beginning and at the end of the programme - to help to monitor any changes over time.  On completion of the programme, participants will receive a time-bounded gym membership to help sustain their health and wellbeing changes.  Expressions of interest must be sent before Noon on Friday 2nd January 2015 to Shameem Qureshi, Muslim Association of Craigavon, 131 Bleary Road, Portadown BT63 5NG  |  Tel: 07889 392570.
