Lifewise was launched on Friday 10th June, 2005 at Magna Templeborough, Rotherham. It is the first facility of its kind in South Yorkshire. It provides a realistic and exciting environment in which groups of people can act out particular situations in a realistic setting dealing with a variety of issues and problems.

As an example of what Lifewise can offer, it is already working as the new home for the hugely successful Crucial Crew event.

However, there are no age limits and Lifewise is open to all. The space is available for organisations that wish to develop imaginative programmes that deal with key issues of modern life, whether they involve personal or community safety or responsibilities of being a member of society. |
