Welcome to Be Well Glossop, an innovative and energetic community business which is trying to change the world – or at least that bit of it around Glossop. We believe that a little bit of social and physical activity does you good and we work with GP surgeries, schools, local clubs and other community groups to find ways to help people break the habits of inactivity, isolation and loneliness.
As it says above, we are a Wellbeing organisation and our aim is simply to do what we can to make people feel happier and be healthier.

Dancercise is a firm favourite with ladies of all ages You can give it a whirl in Whitfield and Glossop.
Glossop Community Allotment
The Glossop Community Allotment aims to get as many different people as possible from across Glossopdale to enjoy and benefit from the wellbeing boost which comes from planting, tending and harvesting fruit and vegetables.

Our Walk Leader Ian has managed to establish a friendly and supportive groups of walkers who value the opportunity to get out, join in with a positive initiative and get a little exercise. We are always pleased to welcome new faces.
Walking Football
At our Whaley Bridge session you get what it says on the tin, football with all the dashing about taken out. While the session mainly attract men of a certain age, they are open to anyone who wants to try the fastest growing form of football in the UK. All you need is loose clothing, a pair of trainers and a sense of humour.
Parent & Child group
As part of our intergenerational offering and inspired by the plight of 'lock-down' babies we run a weekly Parent and Child group. Based at Cornmill House near Manor Park it is every Wednesday morning from 10am-11.30am. It is pay as you attend, no need to book and only £2 per child with an optional 50p if you would like a drink and a biscuit. We welcome parents, grandparents, carers and childminders and children of all ages. This session also runs during school holidays.
Walking Netball
Inspired by seeing older men enjoying Walking Football our ladies asked us to sort out some Walking Netball for them and we were happy to oblige. We now have a thriving group who are keen to welcome new women who want a little gentle exercise and a lot of fun and laughter.
