As one of their 5 themes, Health&Well-being means more to the YCF than just keeping fit.

The Foundation are working with groups that make up their "Older People's Project" with the main focus being to reduce social isolation and increase mental well-being. For those living with Dementia these groups are a great social meet and serve to provide attendees with an opportunity to reminisce. In May 2016, the Foundation launched their first ever beginners running club - the aim being to improve all aspects of health; mental, physical and social. The group has grown since its inception and now provides an opportunity for 60minutes of physical activity for around 15 people a week.

Our Running Club members will be taking part in organised run events over the next 12months in a bid to raise funds to support the work the YCF do, as well as enable them to operate more community health projects in the future. The YCF have some exciting ideas to improve health&well-being in Yorkshire!
