This training has been delivered for the past 2 years with improvements being made year on year, following useful feedback from both participants and trainers. Some comments from the previous sessions included;

“I was a complete stranger to chair based exercise. Now I feel confident that I know the knowledge to be able to take a class on my own” 

“Interaction with others on the course was good to see other people’s ideas and combine knowledge” 

“The information given at the training and the tools to take away are very useful”

“I felt privileged I was given the opportunity to change people’s lives in the community”
