Feeling good is aim of Fylde ‘get active’ campaign

The council's sports development officer Ian Brookes said: “The Let’s Feel Good Fylde initiative has really raised awareness of the Fylde Sports Festival.

"We have been approached by lots of groups we have never worked with before as well as those we have great ongoing relationships with and the schedule really does have something for everyone."
