Changes in the population and a lack of opportunities for older people to stay healthy, active and independent as average life expectancy increases has led to a significant growth in the need for our work with older people, with demand for our services increasing over the last five years by over 500%. We now have 350 regular users, 71% of which are aged over 75 years old and 22% of non-white UK ethnicity.

Our aim is to encourage members to enjoy active and healthy lifestyles. Our focus is around enablement, around what older people can do for themselves, encouraging independence rather than dependence.
