Our criteria-based service to improve mobility and create healthier routines for those worst-affected.
To improve the physical health of older and vulnerable people, the "Get Moving" project seeks to create real change in all participants. Physical capacity can lessen over time, and sedentary routines, along with pre-existing conditions, isolation, and a lack of confidence, can make some more vulnerable than others to accidental injuries and falling. "Get Moving" is a self-help program that aims to teach participants safe and simple movements. Working closely with the programme managers at North Yorkshire Sport, our instructors support individuals experiencing frailty, to work on their ability, motivation, and confidence, with a bespoke exercise programme, in the convenience and comfort of the participant's home.
All sessions are free, and delivered on a personal one-to-one basis. Typically, sessions occur twice per week, spanning one month. Participants are also gifted with a self-help pack to help them continue their physical health journey beyond the initial sessions. This service is intended to help those most in-need, and everyone is required to take an assessment to understand if our help is appropriate. However, we also have a similar exercise program called Move & More that is open to all, and to those who take our assessment but do not qualify for Get Moving. If you think that you would benefit from such a service, please go to the Move & More page.
