Bodies In Motion

Bodies in Motion is your local Gym and Cafe (Orchid Cafe) in the community of Brierfield bringing motivation and health to everyone.

At Bodies in Motion, we believe that everyone—regardless of background or circumstance—deserves the opportunity to thrive. As a registered charity, our mission is to support the health, wellbeing, and personal development of individuals across our communities by engaging them in structured, positive activities that foster resilience, confidence, and self-belief. 

We work with a broad spectrum of people across the Pendle community, placing particular emphasis on supporting marginalised and underrepresented groups. Our wide-ranging programmes include physical activities, accredited education, and tailored employment, training, and education (ETE) support—all designed to help individuals identify their aspirations and turn them into meaningful, life-changing realities. 

Our person-centred approach ensures that each participant receives support aligned with their unique goals and circumstances. We actively collaborate with a broad network of partner agencies to provide holistic assistance, signposting individuals to specialist services where additional support is needed. 

By combining practical learning with personal development, Bodies in Motion enables people to build healthy lifestyles, gain valuable qualifications, and grow in confidence. We’re not just promoting physical activity—we’re empowering people to shape their futures with purpose and pride. 

At Bodies in Motion, we deliver a diverse range of activities that support the physical, emotional, and educational development of people. From structured sports and fitness sessions to accredited education, horticulture, and creative projects, every programme is designed to inspire, motivate, and equip people with the skills they need to succeed in life.

A key part of our community offer is our welcoming Community Café—a warm, friendly space where people, families, and community members can enjoy healthy food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. It’s more than just a place to eat; it’s a hub for connection, conversation, and community spirit. Whether you're winding down after an activity or simply dropping in for a nutritious meal, the café offers a calm space to recharge and feel at home.

Every aspect of Bodies in Motion, from our activities to our café, is built on the belief that small steps lead to big change. We’re here to support that journey—one person, one opportunity, one positive experience at a time.
