Free Active Ageing sessions
As we get older it is more important than ever to exercise both our body and mind. Good health is fundamental to our quality of life. It allows us to remain independent, to work, to be involved in our local community, to maintain relationships with friends and family, and to carry out activities that give us meaning and purpose.
