Older people

A healthy lifestyle in later years can prevent or postpone many long-term illnesses.

Exercise can improve flexibility, balance and reduce the risk of falls, yet few older people take the recommended levels of exercise.

Our leisure and sports centres run clubs and courses aimed at the over 50 age group that encourages participation in exercise at your own pace, in a sociable and welcoming atmosphere.
