Our Get Moving ABC business partners swapped their desks, screens and to-do-lists for a morning of fun, games and a helping of healthy competition at our first ever Business Games at South Lake Leisure Centre.
The event was hosted by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s Sports Development Team who deliver the council’s Get Moving ABC framework.
Get Moving ABC is a borough-wide targeted initiative, with a collective effort by a range of local organisations and groups to motivate and support as many people as possible, to work towards and achieve the recommended physical activity levels.
Speaking at the business games, Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor Kyle Savage said:
“Get Moving ABC is about working together to make life better for people. It’s about creating the conditions for people to make well informed choices about their lifestyle and health. It’s about organisations across all sectors making the best use of resources to achieve this.
“As a Get Moving ABC partner, these companies are committed to creating the conditions to support the health and wellbeing of their employees, with an emphasis on being physically active, which will undoubtedly benefit both employees and employers.”
Six businesses participated in the business games – Ripple Creative, Tarasis Enterprises, Interface, Turkington Construction, Southern GP Referral Support Unit and IncredABLE.
As a Get Moving ABC business partner, companies experience the benefits of joining a corporate indoor leisure membership scheme, receive support and guidance on the council’s Couch to 5K/10K programmes, receive guidance on signing up to an active travel scheme, collaborate with the NI Chest, Heart and Stroke ‘Live Well Work Well’ programme and much more!
The Get Moving ABC Workplace Scheme is supported by the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, Sport NI, The Community and Voluntary Sector Panel, Public Health Agency, Education Authority, NI Chest Heart and Stroke, Ulster GAA and ABC Council.
