Active Life

Joining Active Life means that you can live your life to the fullest. Perhaps you would like to get out and about more in your local community, meet new people or discover new hobbies and interests.

Our support and activities are all aimed at helping you to continue living independently, as well as keeping your mind
and body active!

All our services are individually tailored to your requirements and are available within a variety of
settings, such as our Day Centres, your home or in your local community.

Our Active Life service also offers activities which cater for people with specific needs including:

We can help you access facilities within your community, such as libraries, shops and clubs, support you to undertake leisure activities like swimming, bingo and golf or help you with day to day tasks such as cooking and making appointments.

Active Life Day Centres

All our Centres offer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with professional, fully trained staff. They provide an opportunity to meet and socialise with other people in a friendly, safe environment and offer a variety of stimulating activities to help retain and improve existing skills and to increase physical and mental activity. Staff can also help with personal care and mobility support if required.

Most activities will be in small group sessions and include arts and crafts, gardening, aromatherapy, computer training, exercise classes, board games, outings – to name but a few!
