1. ActivLives provides a weekly programme of around 30 different activities for older people, including adapted sports sessions, Better Balance exercise classes, health walks, lunch clubs, singing groups and specialist Dementia and Carers hubs (due to Covid-19 none of these are currently taking place). 2. This project will deliver the Better Balance, falls prevention exercise classes in Ipswich and East Suffolk. 3. The grant funding will be used to pay for additional costs of venue hire and freelance instructors fees in running duplicate sessions, plus extra sets of equipment and to support attendees with their transport costs, for those no longer able to use public transport. 4. The most significant difference that the project will make is to act as a catalyst for both existing and new members, to give them the opportunity to get out of their homes and take part in specific falls prevention exercises, which will not only improve their physical health, but also their mental well being.
