Proposed budget

GBP 5,000

Description

Our project is to cater all senior citizens who gather weekly. This project aims to deliver a diabetes wellbeing awareness program to support residents to manage and prevent diabetes and other deceases.

We provide many activities such as sitting yoga, given by an experienced nutrition coach who has hands on experience supporting family members with diabetes. Sessions will focus on chair-based yoga, gentle movement, nutrition workshops, and peer support designed for ages 60+ onwards. They will be held at accessible community venues with take-home resources available for ongoing support as we function as the distribution centre for Vitamin D in Manor Park.

The gathering will provide a supportive, community-based programme for old ages in order to reduce social isolation, stress and improve mental wellbeing to help encourage sustainable lifestyle changes and build confidence in managing heath.

If everything goes well, we aim to engage at least 100 local residents hoping for positive lifestyle changes

By helping those senior citizens in such a way they can come out from the loneliness, come out from stress, healthy living. No need to depend on others, reducing hospital visits, This help to reduce the local hospital's number of patients queue. reduce medical expenses, reducing calls to essential services such as ambulance and paramedics.
