Celebrate World Bicycle Day with ActiveWestminster: Ride Towards Better Health and a Greener City

Tuesday 3rd June is World Bicycle Day – a global celebration of cycling and its power to transform lives and communities. At ActiveWestminster, we’re proud to support and promote cycling across the City of Westminster, encouraging residents and visitors of all ages to discover the many benefits of life on two wheels.

  • Help maintain a healthy weight
  • Reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression
  • Enhance overall wellbeing and mental clarity

Whether it’s a quick ride to work, a leisurely weekend cycle through one of our parks, or a family outing, getting on your bike can do wonders for your body and mind.

ActiveWestminster offers a range of free, fun and inclusive cycling activities throughout the year. From beginner cycling sessions to guided rides and maintenance workshops, there are so many ways to get involved.

Breathe. Move. Heal. Free Women’s Somatic Therapy Sessions with Hurdles2Hoops

Prioritise Your Mental Health with Free Somatic Therapy at Porchester Centre

As Mental Health Awareness Week comes to an end, we’re reminding everyone that mental health matters all year round — it’s just as important as physical health.

That’s why, as part of the Neighbourhood Sports Club (NSC) Programme, we’re offering weekly somatic therapy sessions for women and girls at the Porchester Centre, every Wednesday from 13:30pm – 15:00pm. The session are funded by the Healthy Communities Fund, (Part of the City of Westminster’s Public Health Fund) through summer until 2026.

Delivered by Hurdles2Hoops (a non-profit supporting asylum seekers and refugees), these inclusive sessions are designed to empower women, reduce isolation, and support mental health through movement and connection. 

What is Somatic Therapy?

A body-based approach to mental wellbeing, somatic therapy uses movement and awareness to release tension, support your nervous system, and restore emotional balance.

These sessions are a blend of breathwork, somatic movement, and Qigong to help you:

  • Release stress and tension
  • Connect mind and body
  • Feel grounded and calm
  • Rebuild resilience

Take a step towards better wellbeing — join us and reconnect with your body and mind.
