RecreationRecreationParticipation in leisure pursuits and/or voluntary work can havea number of benefits on mental and physical health. For moredetails about preserving wellbeing, see ‘Health & Wellbeing’.Specific interests such as playing bowls, golf, darts or metaldetecting, visiting places of interest, photography, fishing and contributing toenvironmental work are a few among many activities that can achieve many ofthe benefits of structured exercise without officially exercising.Joining an activity club, an organisation, a social community or a team candevelop curiosity into a hobby and provides an opportunity to create newfriendships and lead to activities such as social events and trips. Although asignificant portion of the members in all of the clubs featured in this directoryare over 50, age is often NOT a criterion for membership and members areencouraged to bring younger friends and family to join in the fun, shareexperiences and bridge the generation divide.The council and Age Concern North East Wales have compiled a list ofactivities available to people in Wrexham.
