This is a great way to meet and make long lasting friendships, take part in fun activities that help to improve balance and mobility and have a chat over a cuppa.
Lindsay Bennett, ActivAgeing Manager said, “This is a new ActivHub opening up in the town centre for people 45 plus. Many people find it difficult to join in activities, due to physical problems, loss of confidence or barriers like transport and this can often lead to people becoming depressed, lonely and cut off from their community. To help people keep healthy and in touch with others, ActivLives has opened a number of ActivHubs across Ipswich and Suffolk to enable people to meet and make new friends and provide activities that help to reduce falls and keep people mobile and independent. Other support organisations and health professional will be invited to come and talk to members at the centre to look at ways in which people can improve their health and wellbeing. At the first session, Anglian Community Enterprise will be holding free health checks.’
