What is Hillbrow Active Health?
Hillbrow Active Health is a specialist health and wellbeing service that has been designed to help people living with a range of health conditions. The programme helps people to become more active and improve their overall quality of life.
Operating out of Hillbrow Health and Wellbeing in Eastbourne, the service connects physical activity with bespoke guidance and support. Our aim is to make exercise more accessible, helping you to find activities that suit your personal situation.
You don’t need to be especially fit or experienced to take part, just willing to make an active change in your life! Our classes and activities can be adapted to accommodate a range of different abilities, and our team is on hand to help you find a starting point that feels comfortable.
Your journey begins with a conversation and you, your health, and your goal.
