Story
The Community Well Being Club is an amazing project that invites men aged over 50 to join together to take part in a group exercise session to help improve their fitness. This is then followed by a coffee and catch up to boost morale and increase confidence while providing a social situation to reduce loneliness. The aim of the project is to provide people that feel isolated with a place where new friendships can form whilst also provided a fitness session to help keep their bodies healthy.
We need to raise £10,000 a year to run this project which benefits men across the town who may feel isolated and need to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. It has proved very successful and since it started in 2017, 252 fitness sessions have taken place with around 25 people attending each one. Feedback from the attendees has been very positive which is why we are so keen to start the project up again as soon as COVID allows and we raise half of the funds needed. For some of the men, this is the only time each week that they leave their house so it is imperative we can start the project as soon as restrictions are lifted.
If you would like to make a donation, or organise a fundraising event to support the Community Wellbeing Project, we would be really grateful. Please get in touch and email info@ciluton.co.uk
