Training packages for health and social care organisations, volunteers and individuals offered by Age UK Devon.

Our Active in Later Life training packages have been designed to enable course participates to support their community and to encourage older people to be more active and lead more fulfilling lives. This may be through volunteering to deliver exercise classes, being a buddy to an older person, or setting up and running care home activities.

Our training can be delivered to health and social care organisations, volunteers and individuals. Each participant will receive a training manual and a certificate of completion.

Seated Exercise

Age UK Devon offers a comprehensive Seated Exercise training package for individuals who want to deliver chair-based exercise sessions for groups of older people who have compromised mobility.
