Health and Wellbeing
Activities

We offer a range of Health and Wellbeing courses and activities designed to support people living with long-term health conditions to improve their quality of life, maintain independence, and reduce the risk of future health complications. Our experienced team provides practical, person-centred advice and support on managing common health conditions, healthy eating and nutrition, fitness and physical activity, understanding treatments and medication, reducing health risks, and making positive lifestyle changes. We aim to help people build confidence, develop healthy routines, and make informed choices that support their overall wellbeing and independence.

Fit For Life

Our Fit for Life programme has been developed with the goal of tackling health inequalities. Targeted towards disabled people, older adults and those with long term health conditions, Fit for Life provides sessions and workshops on a number of topics including:

  • Healthy eating
  • Condition management
  • Managing pain and fatigue
  • Reducing and managing stress
  • Stopping smoking
  • Accessing health and social care services

The course also features exercise taster sessions and weight management clubs as part of its itinerary. The course enables people to live healthier lifestyles by encouraging better physical and emotional health, whilst also tackling high levels of social isolation amongst vulnerable adults. Courses are delivered in Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
