Ageing Well

The focus of our Ageing Well activities is on making social links and activities that promote mental and physical wellbeing, in line with the five ways to well-being principles. ‘Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give, Take Notice’.

Our friendly and dedicated team work in partnership with other local experts and partners to offer a wide range of activities. We provide activities such as:

• Computer classes
• Shared reading
• Sessions for people living with dementia
• Reminiscence
• Gardening
• Cooking and baking
• Dance on sessions
• Memory therapy (MCST)
• Arts and crafts
• Karaoke
