The Mobile Activities Unit is going from strength to strength –
thanks to funding from the Community Safety Partnership. The unit
will soon be delivering a wide range of new activities across
Erewash. These will include offering youngsters the opportunity to
make their own music and visuals, scratch or DJ (with vinyl and CDs)
and even get the chance to learn street dance skills.
Joining
Matt Ward (Mobile Activities Leader) is Suzi Shortland who will help
Matt to deliver these activities. For further details and future
events we will shortly be revealing our brand new website, so
please keep an eye out on the Culture and Leisure pages of our
website for news of when the website is completed.
Matt and Suzi (pictured) already run various
activities throughout the borough. From skateboarding, BMXing and
Inline Skating with our excellent mobile skate park right through to
climbing or abseiling with the UK's TALLEST mobile climbing wall
(reaching a grand height of 30ft).
Why not come along! After all, it's completely
free! And if you're still unsure, then all our events are supplied
with safety equipment and trained staff will be watching over you or
guiding you throughout.

fitness levels. If you're feeling unfit then you won't be presented
with a more friendly or fun opportunity.
