delivering initiatives in the community to improve wellbeing
At Positive Living and Wellbeing Group, our outreach arm seeks to tackle isolation, loneliness and health inequalities in the community. We are part of Birmingham City Council's Warm Welcome Spaces.
Many of the families and individuals we work with have been socially isolated due to a variety of factors, including moving to a new area or being at home due to retirement or the inability to work.
Our activities bring together individuals from different walks of life and assist them in creating new friendships whilst also gaining new skills. We have been providing a range of activities that have focussed on improving health and wellbeing, including education on healthy lifestyles, physical activity sessions, culturally specific activities and learning new skills to enable them to engage in the digital era, whereby we are increasingly reliant on services that are available online.
Some of the activities we have or are delivering are:
- Chair based exercises
- Traditional Punjabi Giddha & Boliyan classes
- Mindfulness sessions
- An introduction to Reflexology
- Talks on how to manage Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
- Bingo sessions
- Age appropriate group games
- IT Literacy for Beginners
- Organised Days Out
