Your best foot forward towards wellbeing

Active Lives is a preventative low impact programme of physical activity and falls prevention that is delivered in various locations across the city - all sessions include time when our project workers can provide advice, information and signposting across a wide range of issues.

The Active Lives activities include 25 exercise and movement classes. We deliver inclusive classes for both seated and standing participation. This includes: 11 Tai Chi sessions, 3 Pilates Groups, a Cardio Recovery Class and 6 Strength and Balance Classes. 800 of our service users take part in at least 1 hour of exercise a week.

The prevention of falls is a key priority and all our Active Lives groups have Posture and Stability training included as a core element. This is a significant game changer in addressing falls prevention and recovery across Plymouth. For Strength & Balance criteria for GP/Physiotherapist referrals, please click here.

The mix of social engagement, advice and light exercise contributes significantly to improving the self-esteem and promoting the continued independent living of our beneficiaries. This has also been a catalyst in many cases to new and supportive friendships and the recruitment of volunteers for our charity.
