Suffolk ACRE

Are you a Community Development Worker or working in the voluntary sector in some other capacity? Would you like to have an opportunity to train to teach and lead seated exercise sessions within the community? Would you like to be part of a ‘pilot project’ in the Suffolk Coastal area? If YES read on.

Seated exercise classes help older people to stay independent for longer. The specially tailored sessions help to boost strength and mobility by combining simple and gentle sitting exercises with some standing work. The classes can be beneficial for those recovering from a fall or injury, and can also help older people to maintain their independence for longer.

FREE training, worth more than £400, will be provided to people who will commit to delivering regular seated exercise sessions in their clubs, community centres or village halls; or incorporate sessions into work you may already be doing with older people. 

Once trained you will be able to lead a class which is specifically designed to improve health, wellbeing and balance among older people.
