The photo shows some of the children enjoying the free Balanceability sessions that took place in the borough. An Erewash woman has started a walking group for beginners after recovering from a stroke.

Jane Burgess took part in free walk leader training which is available through the Walk Derbyshire scheme.

Since her stroke Jane has been able to rebuild her ability and stamina. She started the group at the beginning of September and it now has eight regular members. The next gentle walk will be at 10.30am on 22 December at Willow Avenue, Long Eaton. More information can be found at erewash.gov.uk/walking
