Joining a club is a great way to be active, as well as a way to meet new people with similar interests. No matter what your fitness level, there is a sport or activity out there for you, catering for all levels and abilities.
You might like to join with a friend, so you can support and motivate each other to keep going - often people find that they make new friends through joining a sports club or group too.

Community groups
Doncaster is home to many different community groups which offer a whole range of services and activities, from knit and natter, sewing bees, craft groups, singing, dancing, history and local heritage groups.

"This (running) group has brought me back to life and I owe a huge thank you to the whole group. Without the support of the group I would have most definitely given up. I have realised that everyone gets out of breath whilst running, it's okay!"
