John Fareham and John Abbott have details of a proposed exercise scheme for the over-50s to be rolled out at a number of locations including Commonwealth Homes.
At the time of writing the officers were still working out the internal arrangements to get the scheme going, but the idea is simple enough – a 12-week introductory programme to get residents to take up mental and physical exercise, after which the equipment provided for each location will stay there. The project is set up in the belief that giving the mind and body something worthwhile to do is beneficial even after one has stopped working, and as soon as we have the start date we will of course let residents know. It goes without saying, of course, that participation in the scheme will be wholly voluntary and nobody will have to take part if they aren’t well enough or just don’t want to.
