DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY SESSIONS
The multi-activity sessions are ideal for older adults living with dementia, Parkinson's or other neurological conditions.
Clients can safely access activities such as short tennis, table tennis, boccia and golf putting and can use the static bikes and dumbbell weights during the hour and a half session.
There will be a maximum of 20 clients per session with an instructor and volunteers to guide you. You are free to do whichever activities you enjoy along with like mined adults.
It's a great way to stay fit and active and to maintain participation in sports that you may have previously done, without any competitive pressures. The activities will be adapted to your specific needs by the instructor.
We gather for coffee, biscuits and a rest half way through the session with time to get to know each other. Many friendships have formed through these sessions and they are always filled with fun and chatter.
This friendly and supportive session is from 2pm- 3.30pm and costs £4 (carers go free). This session is also Dementia friendly. Please contact natalie.williams@tmactive.co.uk for more information or speak to the reception at the Angel Centre on 01732 359966.
