Enriching Later Lives Programme Making a Positive Impact

We are incredibly happy to see fantastic progress from our latest programme funded through the Enriching Later Lives initiative, managed by Point North. Designed to support older adults in staying active and independent, the sessions provide safe, adaptive exercise led by two experienced instructors.

Participants benefit from personalised fitness plans created following an initial assessment of their health, mobility, and goals. Using low-impact equipment and gentle, evidence-based exercises, the programme focuses on improving strength, flexibility, and balance while helping to reduce pain and enhance overall quality of life.

With ongoing support and tailored guidance, the project is already empowering individuals to take control of their wellbeing and it is wonderful to witness the positive difference it is making across the community.

There is still time to join this initiative. Get in touch with us now to secure your place.
