“The course made me realise the importance of looking after myself both physically and mentally.”

I felt a lot more positive and optimistic about my future and a lot less fearful about ageing. I had also made some good social connections and I am now feeling a lot less lonely.”

“Biggest key message for me from the course.  We must do more each year as we age – NOT LESS – I can and I will do more and give new things ago, from now on.”

Now I feel more positive, confident and motivated to make my health and wellbeing my priority. I challenge myself to converse more at groups and activities I attend.”
