The group members themselves will decide what activities they wish to pursue and purchase. Some suggestions so far have included: board games, quizzes, floor games and reminiscence activities. By physical and mental stimulation it is hope that these activities will contribute to individuals\u2019 health and wellbeing, reducing social isolation and increasing connections within the local community. We will be seeking to link into other activities which improve health and well- being (e.g. LiveActive, Positive Images, Carers\u2019 advice, and health promotion.
