ActivSingers
The Keep On Rockin’ members have achieved a sustainable singing group through weekly member support, fundraising and regular performances of classic songs for everyone to enjoy!
We’ve put together this video to show you what we do, and how we can help you.
Whether it’s improving your balance at one of our hubs, learning about horticulture at one of our gardens, finding your voice in our Keep On Rockin’ singing group, or simply meeting new friends at one of our lunch clubs.
We’re not just a fitness organisation – we’re a community – and we’re here, for you.
“Meeting new friends and socialising with them and being able to help some of the others with their activities while enjoying this myself.”
“Lovely to do some proper exercise again and I feel so much looser!”
