As detailed above, after following government advice and guidance, it is with a heavy heart that Active East Herts have made the decision to temporarily suspend community classes and events. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, however given the current advice from central government, with special regards to older people and those with existing health conditions, it’s important to consider how our behaviour can limit the spread of the infection and protect them. As we are following guidelines, we must limit the community groups that encourage close social contact. We are very aware of the impact that suspending community classes will have on isolation, mobility and mental health. Therefore we will do our utmost where possible to continue adding to the timetable to ensure everyone has the opportunity to stay physically active and connected. We are uncertain what lies ahead, however we promise to keep everyone updated as we continually review the situation and we hope to open our community classes as soon as possible.
