People and communities Health and Wellbeing activities

Keeping mind and body active as we get older is important. We all need to think about our minds in the same way that we need to think about our bodies, especially in times of change. Being physically active helps with sleep and keeps our spirits up. It helps to keep us stronger and healthier, preventing health conditions from getting worse and helping to reduce the risks of falls and illness.
