About Us

Hello and welcome to B' Active 'N' B' Fit CIC Sunderland!

We're more than a therapeutic exercise organisation – we're a caring community where everyone is welcome, supported, and encouraged to live their happiest, healthiest lives.

More Than Just Exercise, We're Family

We’re more than a therapeutic exercise organisation – we’re a caring community where everyone is welcome, supported, and encouraged to live their happiest, healthiest lives. As a proud Community Interest Company (CIC), we put our hearts into making health and wellbeing accessible for all, no matter your age or ability.

One of our greatest passions is our Day Opportunities service. This special part of what we do is all about creating a safe, friendly, and vibrant space where individuals can take part in meaningful activities, make new friends, and feel truly included. Whether it’s a group fitness session, a creative workshop, or simply sharing a cuppa and a chat, our Day Opportunities are built around you.
