Discover the benefits of Gateways’ recreation programs
As we start 2025, it’s a great time to think about health and wellbeing! At Gateways Support Services, our recreation programs are more than just fun, they help people stay healthy, happy, and connected.
Joining in recreation programs can have life-changing benefits. Whether it’s a creative workshop, an outdoor adventure, or a social gathering, our programs are designed to enrich lives, promote inclusion, and help you thrive.
How our programs support physical health
Staying active is important for a healthy lifestyle. Our recreation programs include activities like yoga, swimming, walking, and sports. These activities can help improve strength, fitness, and movement. They also help you build healthy routines to stay active and energised.
Improving mental health with recreation
Doing things you enjoy can help reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. Our recreation programs include calming activities like music, art, and gardening.
These activities help you relax, feel proud of your achievements, and discover new interests in a safe and supportive space.
Supporting your social health by building friendships and connections
Our recreation programs are a great way to meet new people and make friends. Whether it’s a group trip or a shared activity, you can connect with others in a welcoming and safe environment.
Feeling part of a community is important. Our programs bring people together and help reduce loneliness. Many clients tell us that making these connections is their favourite part of the experience.
