Stay active and meet new people
Are you 75 or older, want to connect with others and take part in activities such as chair yoga, Tai Chi, movement to music or gentle exercise?
If the answer is ‘yes’, then register for our new activity groups in West Yorkshire.
Activity groups
Our online groups are available to older people who live in West Yorkshire, and our in-person groups take place in Calderdale. The groups will help you stay active and meet new people who are at a similar stage in life to you.
Led by an instructor, each group will take part in a gentle activity and there will be plenty of time for a chat afterwards.
Following the sessions, you can expect to feel better connected, have an improved sense of wellbeing and improved physical health.
