Become a Partner
Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire is looking to work with local organisations, community groups, health professionals and social prescribers to help older people become more active through our new Communities in Motion programme. We're keen to build partnerships with organisations that would like to:
- Refer older people into our activities
- Receive information about upcoming sessions and events
- Help promote activities within their communities
- Explore opportunities to work together on community wellbeing initiatives
Activities will include walking football, pickleball, wellbeing walks, seated exercise sessions, couch to 1k, grandparent / grandchild activities, light weights, balance focused drop-ins and day discos, with new activities launching across Hull over the coming months. Please email kelljo.pearson@ageukhey.org.uk to register your interest and we'll keep you updated as activities launch, referral routes open and partnership opportunities become available. Together, we can help more older people stay active, connected and independent.
