⚠️ THIS SATURDAY ⚠️

This saturday its the Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club's Midsummer Festival Of The Sea!!

𝗠𝗶𝗱-𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮
On June 20th 2026, the Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club (NSSC) are hosting a FREE celebration of all activities on, near, in, and above the water in the Seaford Bay and invite you to join them for a day of fun activities for all, with stalls, taster sessions and live entertainment! All activities will be based on the promenade in front of Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club and the adjacent beach area, starting from 10:00am.

The morning will include Cornish Gig racing and sailboat races with live commentary.

In the afternoon, there will be free ‘have a go’ sessions from the beach with activities such as sailing, paddle-boarding, swimming, windsurfing and board winging, together with further Gig races. There will also be staged rescues by our club rescue ribs and the RNLI Lifeboat.

There will be live musical entertainment from 4:00pm until late.

The Galley Seaford will be open throughout the day and evening for food and refreshments.

The day will embrace all aspects of our sea-based communities, show-casing the range of activities that are happening locally, inviting you to find out more, watch live sporting events on the water, with the opportunity to try some out for yourselves and maybe get involved in something new! Come along and see how vibrant and amazing Seaford Bay is!

* If the weather is poor, the daytime events may have to be cancelled.*

Move More, Feel Better, Talk More

🚹Men's health week has just finished.

1 in 5 men in the UK are classed as physically inactive - doing less than 30 minutes of moderate physical activity.

Being inactive is linked to:
⚠️Heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers
⚠️1 in 6 deaths in the UK
⚠️Increased stress, anxiety and low mood

The good news? It doesn't take much to make a difference
✅Just 30 minutes of activity, 5 days a week
✅Strength training twice a week
✅Even a walk with a mate counts

💬Getting active isn't just about fitness - it's a powerful way to connect, open up, and support mental health.

👉Move more. Talk more. Feel better.

British Heart Week

Sitting is the new smoking - and while that might sound dramatic, the message is clear: too much inactivity can have a serious impact on your health.

Spending long periods sitting is linked to poorer circulation, higher blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease. The good news? Movement is one of the most powerful ways to protect your heart.

You don't need to be perfect - just start where you are:

When it comes to physical activity:
✅Push yourself to your own limits
✅You might already be hitting recommended levels
✅ Or you may need to start a little lower and build up - that's absolutely fine.

📈The key is consistency, not perfection. Every step, stretch, and session adds up.

Regular movement helps to:
💝Strengthen your heart
💝Improve circulation
💝Lower blood pressure
💝Boost overall wellbeing

So whether it's a walk, a workout, or simply standing up and moving more though out the day - get moving and enjoy the journey.

Your heart will thank you.

If you are between the ages of 40-74 and are yet to have your NHS Health Check - you can register with One You East Sussex for your free NHS Health check, which will give you a heart health score

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Wednesday 3rd June is Global Running Day! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Running is one of the most accessible ways to get active—whether you're just starting out or building towards longer distances. Even better, there are plenty of friendly, inclusive running groups across Eastbourne and Lewes to help you get involved 👇

Lewes District

📍 Malling Rec parkrun (also Seaford & Peacehaven)
📍 Athletic Club

Eastbourne
📍 Eastbourne parkrun
📍 Ace Corporate Fitness

New to running?

👉 BBC Get Inspired CouchTo5K
👉 NHS Choices Couch to 5K

Running is flexible—you can go at your own pace, on your own schedule, and you don’t need loads of equipment to get started. Begin with a simple mix like walk 3 minutes, jog 1 minute, and build from there 💪

And remember, it’s not all about marathons!
Hitting the UK guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week (that’s just over 20 minutes a day) is a great goal. Try alternating walking and jogging days to get there.

👀 Not sure running is for you? That’s okay!

Tomorrow is World MS Day

Living with Multiple Sclerosis doesn’t mean you have to stop moving. In fact, the right kind of movement can be one of the most powerful tools to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. 💪

Research shows that regular physical activity can help people living with MS improve strength, balance, mobility, and overall wellbeing.

🔹 **Strength training** can improve muscle function and reduce fatigue.
🔹 **Balance and coordination exercises** can help reduce the risk of falls and improve confidence with movement.
🔹 **Aerobic activity** like walking, cycling or swimming can support cardiovascular health and help manage fatigue.

Studies published in the journal *Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders* and research supported by the National MS Society show that consistent, moderate exercise can improve mobility, reduce symptoms of depression, and enhance overall quality of life for people with MS.

The key is to start small, listen to your body, and find movement that works for you. Even short sessions of gentle activity can make a difference over time.

Movement isn’t about pushing limits — it’s about supporting your body to stay as strong, stable, and active as possible.
