A 12 Week course to improve your balance and co-ordination.
Last year your North Heaton Councillors DOREEN and GREG joined Lib Dem colleagues for Dene Ward to allocate funds from the council’s Wellbeing Fund for a scheme to prevent falls and injuries in elderly people.
After discussions with Age UK we agreed a plan and work began with local GPs to identify vulnerable people who might benefit from a preventive programme. STAND TALL, DONT FALL sessions run at Woodlands Centre on a Friday, and is proving successful. This activity helps with our aim to use the building for all age groups as well as promoting independent living for older people.
If you know anyone who might benefit from gentle exercise to help with balance get in touch with Woodlands on 278 1350.
