Movement of any kind - armchair exercises, walking, dancing, swimming all helps to keep us more active as we get older. Regular exercise and movement can help us to reduce the risk of developing health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or dementia.

This May we are asking you to move a mile and support our local services and activities for older people in Blackburn with Darwen. Move a mile every day every week or during the month and donate a minimum of £1.

Age UK Blackburn with Darwen is a local independent charity that works in the borough to provide services and activities to anyone aged 50 and over. Demand for our services has increased at a time when our own costs are increasing and monies raised will be put to very good use where it is most needed.

For more details about what we provide please visit our website www.ageUkbwd.org.uk or follow us on social media - search @ageukbwd
