New Senior Community Swims
The Community Team, works closely with partners to enable people within our communities, who may have barriers to participation, to engage in activities.
Partnering with Active Cornwall, we have been developing social opportunities across a number of programmes and offers. Linking with funding from Live Longer Better, we have been able to develop social programmes like, Walking Cricket, Walking Netball, Walking Football and Pickleball. All which have been funded through the Live Longer Better Fund, over the past 3 years. All these programmes then becoming sustained weekly session in the centres activity time-table.
Often, our programmes encourage those people living with long-term health conditions to participate. Taking up physical activity can support people to manage their health conditions, many seeing benefits both physically and mentally.
So, to build on the programmes currently on offer for people over 55, we are able to introduce our Senior Community Swim Session on Wednesday mornings 10am to 10.50am. If you are interested and would like to book, use the link below:
To enable us to offer these sessions at a reduced price we have been supported by the Live Longer Better Cornwall Fund, allowing more people with barriers to participation to take part.
Our Active Cornwall partner can also provide further information and guidance on the importance of move more, staying active as we age.
