New Movement for Life Improvement Classes Launched

to Help Older People in Northumberland Move into 2023!

 

Age UK Northumberland is delighted to launch six new exercise classes to help older people in Northumberland improve mobility, balance and confidence to get out and about.

 

The classes, which will take place face to face and online, have been funded by Versus Arthritis and Sport England and have been carefully designed by qualified falls prevention trainers to help people recondition through building muscle strength, balance, flexibility and stability.

Amy Whyte, Chief Executive of Age UK Northumberland said:

“We’re delighted to introduce these valuable classes in Ashington, Morpeth and via Zoom.  Classes are free of charge and we encourage anyone who feels that they have lost a bit of mobility during the cold winter months to come along and give it a try. We have seen some remarkable improvements from people who’ve taken part in groups like this in the past”.
