Age UK Salford and Trafford is launching a 'Communities in Motion' Programme, supported by a grant from the London Marathon Foundation.

The programme will offer a range of welcoming activities that can help improve wellbeing whilst having fun and making new friends for those aged 65 and over.

The sessions will aim to:
- Improve strength, balance and mobility
- Boost confidence and overall wellbeing
- Encourage social connections and help reduce feelings of loneliness
- Raise awareness of local activities, services and opportunities within the community
- Support people to remain active and independent for longer

Sounds good to us - stay tuned for more details or call/email the contact on the flyer!
