This is our referral-based service that seeks to improve mobility and create healthier routines.

Living Well: Your Way

[This service is a part of Independant Living]

To improve the physical health of older and vulnerable people, the "Get Moving" project seeks to create real change in all participants. Physical capacity can lessen over time, and sedentary routines, along with pre-existing conditions, isolation, and a lack of confidence, can make some more vulnerable than others to accidental injuries and falling. "Get Moving" is a self-help program that aims to teach participants safe, simple movements, and the confidence to implement these changes into daily life. "Get Moving" also helps those suffering with social isolation and loneliness, by giving participants the tools, assurance, and opportunity they need to create lasting positive changes in both their physical 'and' mental health.

Whilst anyone over 50 can participate in our group exercise classes, "Get Moving" is a referral-only service (prescribed via GPs or NY Sport). All sessions are free, and delivered on a personal one-to-one basis, in the convenience and comfort of the participant's home. The project is structured into eight, one-hour sessions, spanning one month. Participants are also gifted with a self-help pack to help them continue their physical health journey beyond the initial sessions.
