Wellbeing classes for adults
One of Brent Cross Town’s four key pledges is to develop a place where everyone can flourish, no matter their age, gender, ability or interests. To support ehis, there have been adult-only wellbeing events taking place throughout the year, such as yoga classes, ukulele workshops and women’s running club which have been a huge success. To continue and celebrate everyone in the community, there will be adults-only events this autumn half-term:
