Activity groups for over-75s
From February 2021, our new ‘active together’ groups will bring together people (over 75) in local communities across Wales through initiating and running activity-based groups to help reduce loneliness, social isolation and improve physical wellbeing.
Our groups will use community spaces to host a range of activities which can be anything from dancing, chair yoga and gardening to tai chi, light fitness classes or boules.
Group coordinator (Wales)
You will coordinate activity-based groups for people over 75 in community centres, pubs or church spaces. Groups will host between 4 and 12 older people, along with our volunteer drivers who pick up and drop off our older guests.
Activity lead (Wales)
As an activity lead you will run a local Re-engage group who meet on a monthly basis. Activities can vary from chair fitness, dancing and boules to gardening or coming up with your own activity to get people moving.
Volunteer driver (Wales)
As a volunteer driver you will be picking up 1-2 older people from their homes to join our monthly activity groups. As you can imagine these monthly outings are the highlight of the month for many of our older guests.
