Active Ageing Bristol is a collaboration between Bristol Sport Foundation, The Anchor Society and St Monica Trust. With support from LinkAge Network they have About Active Ageing Bristol spearheaded one of the UK’s first physical activity and sport initiatives for older people. The specially-targeted programme aims to get more people from the local area and over the age of 55, involved more regularly, in physical activity, coaching and volunteering. Better co-ordination of sports provision, creative means for improved participation and more accessible opportunities are just three of the key areas Active Ageing Bristol will explore 3 and look to implement. Karen Lloyd, Active Ageing Bristol Manager said: “The guides are based on the wealth of existing provision in the greater Bristol area. Over time, Active Ageing Bristol will both sustain and develop new opportunities to encourage older people to become and stay active.” Activity details are correct at the time of print, please call to confirm details.
About sponsors Bristol Sport Martin Griffiths, Chairman said: “Active Ageing Bristol is an opportunity to really make a difference to older people across the city. What we are looking to do is build pathways to friendship, and put an end to inactivity.” St Monica Trust Sara Naylor-Wild, Director said: About Sponsors “We are proud to support this initiative and be a key player in its development and implementation. 36% of people aged 55+ are inactive. A 30 minute daily walk for example can make a huge difference.” 4 The Anchor Society Richard Pendlebury, CEO said: “Many older people can suffer from feelings of isolation and loneliness. Participation in physical activity is a great way to meet new friends. We look forward to seeing more older people getting involved with the programme.” Activity details are correct at the time of print, please call to confirm details.
