Great to get outside yesterday for some outdoor movement, at our CAN-Move wellbeing walk at Buile Hill Park

Moving, chatting, getting some vitamin D,and seeing signs of the change of season 😍🍁🍂

Walking is a low impact form of activity, with many physical and mental health benefits.Benefical during and after cancer treatment, and for many, can be great place to start if not already exercising.

This week is Falls Prevention Week.

The national campaign aims to empower older adults and those at risk to take proactive steps to reduce their chances of falling. Most falls are preventable, and this year's theme aims to raise awareness of putting prevention into action.

Our Active Lifestyles team have a selection of various strength and balance exercise videos to test this and help improve them overall.

You can also attend our Postural Stability and Step Up classes to help improve confidence, maintain independence and reduce falls and social isolation.

For more info, please call 0161 778 0596 or email the team at active.lifestyles@scll.co.uk.
