Dudley greenagers

The project wants to help increase the well being of older people by encouraging more physical activity and healthy eating. This is an opportunity to work with a variety of people of varying ages.

Benefits of involvement are:
• Provide mental as well as physical wellbeing
• Sense of achievement and satisfaction
• Opportunity to build friendships and strengthen communities
• Eat the healthy fruits of participant’s labour
• Meeting people of different ages and backgrounds

Dudley greenagers project supports older people to keep physically active and eat more fresh fruit and vegetables with the added support of being able to share the workload and enjoy the company Dudley greenagers are using land available locally in Dudley borough to work together with older people to produce fresh fruit and vegetables for their own use. The project will be shaped to meet the needs of the participants.

Activities such as planning and talks on gardening and healthy eating will enable the group to socialise as well as taking ownership of the project.
