Keeping Mobile

Low impact activities to keep you feeling steady and strong

Walking to Wellness are short walks lead by fully trained, friendly leaders who are there to support people as they build their confidence and take advantage of the opportunity to meet new people. The walks take place from community centres across Warrington and have the option for a brew in the community centre following the walk. The walk leaders and wellbeing workers in the community centre are also available to help with any other types support they may need.

AN OLDER MAN DANCING

45 minutes a week | 12 weeks | Low impact | Big Difference.

We deliver a service that provides 12 weeks of 1:1 low-impact chair-based activity in a person's own home.  The service is for people that are at risk of falls due to health, injury or a condition.

After 12 weeks, the aim is that the person can build the confidence and mobility to be able to access social or physical activities in their neighbourhood.

Our service is delivered by our team of friendly volunteers that provide reassurance and encouragement, they are not physios or trainers and this creates a calm, no-pressure atmosphere allowing the person to lead the pace.  The average session takes around 45 minutes.

If you want to know more, contact Heather.

Refer a person for our low-impact chair-based exercises.
