Active Communities has released its full programme of activities for April 2026, with sessions running throughout the week in Johnstone, Linwood and Gallowhill.

The schedule includes a mix of fitness classes, wellbeing sessions and social groups, many of which are free or low-cost thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and the Scottish Government.

Activities take place at venues including Station Seven, The Shed at Station Seven, Gallowhill Community Centre and ON-X Linwood.

Sessions include yoga, Pilates, Zumba, recovery support, community breakfasts, creative youth clubs and jogging groups, with options available for different ages and abilities.

Some sessions require advance booking, while others are cancelled on specific dates throughout April. Organisers have also confirmed that some activities are limited to local residents.

Donations are welcome, and all groups remain subject to change or cancellation.
