Members are invited to join ourselves, Dundee Football Club and Dundee & Angus College for an evening of health and wellness. It is widely known that physical activity is essential for good health and that it can help to improve sleep, reduce stress and improve a person's quality of life - it can also reduce the risk of back pain and musculoskeletal concerns, one of the most common causes of sickness absence in Scotland.
