Customer update (COVID-19)

Last updated 2 December 2020

Due to Stockport being placed into Tier 4 of restrictions, our SMILE sessions are not currently running, to ensure we follow the DCMS guidance around group exercise. We are working hard to ensure that sessions return as quickly as possible when we are allowed to do so.

We will update this page with further details as soon as we are in a position to recommence the timetable.

In the meantime please see our virtual offer that will continue to run during this time:
