Resources available to motivate and guide you to make changes, including strength and balance exercises and healthy lifestyle advice.

A discovery conversation with a member of our team, explaining about the programme and understanding your starting point.
24 weekly strength and balance activity session in a venue close to you.

After each weekly session there will be a chance to chat with fellow participants over a hot drink.
Resources to guide you to complete exercises in the comfort of your own home.
A final appointment with our team to review your success in the programme and a signposting opportunity to community physical activity of your liking.
