Our Programmes

This weekly club brings together older people through a range of activities and events including welfare rights, physical activity, health promotion activities, arts/crafts cooking demonstrations, bus trips and informational sessions. It takes a holistic approach to health that aims to promote social inclusion, reduce isolation and provide practical advice and support to the most vulnerable in the community.

We run a number of classes for older adults including Chair based exercises, Chi Me, Swimming, Yoga, light exercises and GP Referral programmes.

Our small social cafes are an ideal way to introduce new participants to new activities in a safe and secure environment and with the support of our volunteers. Participants come together for a cuppa and chat and identify activities together that they would like to undertake, for example, arts and crafts, light exercises, meditation, reminiscence, information and advice.

The Stepping On programme offers exercise classes for those aged 65+ who have had a recent fall or at risk of falls. The 9 week programme programme is delivered in partnership with the Public Health Agency, Physiotherapy Team, Occupational Therapy Team, WHSCT Health Improvement Team, Western Home Environment Assessment Team and Healthy Living Centres.

Making the decision to attend a counselling service is a very brave step and one that can have a positive effect on your life

Our Shed is where everyone can come together through activities including woodwork, craft making and cups of tea. Come down and learn a new skill or just get a cuppa and a chat!

There is good evidence about what works to build protective factors such as self-esteem, positive physical environment and reduce risk factors in the schools, in order to promote well-being and some evidence specifically on building resilience.
