This weekend (Sat 18th & Sun 19th April) Pilton Community Health Project (PCHP) are very excited to be piloting a brand new ‘Seated Exercise Training Course’.
This has been developed by PCHP’s Physical Activity Development Worker in partnership with Specialist Instructors and Physiotherapists, in response to long term local need in North Edinburgh (and beyond).
For a number of years the physical activity development work at the PCHP has identified (and attempted to fill) a gap in the provision of regular physical activity for older people in residential homes, sheltered housing and lunch clubs. We strongly believe that every older person should have access to regular and FREE activity sessions that will maintain functionality and improve quality of life.
Please share this around your networks, there are still 3 or 4 spaces available on the training and it would be a real shame to see them go to waste!
Furthermore, since this is the first pilot it is FREE OF CHARGE!
Do you or someone you know work with (or would like to work with) older adults in North Edinburgh?
Do you or someone you know have an interest in and appreciation of the importance of keeping active in later life?
Are you interested in learning about the effects of ageing on the body and how this impacts health?
Would you like to gain new skills and knowledge around leading activity sessions for specialist groups?
Would you like to volunteer to deliver seated exercise sessions in North Edinburgh that might improve the health of older people?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions then this training might be just what you are looking for!
The training will be taking place at Pilton Community Health Project as follows:
Sat 18th April 9.30am-3.45pm
Sun 19th Apr 10.00am-3.15pm
If you are interested in taking part then please get in touch with liannepipskyj@pchp.org.uk or call 0131 551 1671 asap to secure your place!
Healthy regards
