ActivLives is a small, grassroots charity, working in Ipswich and across Suffolk, to support and motivate people to improve their own health and well-being; keep people connected with their communities to reduce social isolation and loneliness and provide access to learning, training and volunteering opportunities to enable people to gain skills and employment. ActivLives provides a wide range of opportunities for people to get involved, including, community gardening, Men in Shed projects, singing and physical / sport activities such as walking football, Boccia, Kurling, seated and standing exercise, health walks and social activity. These activities bring people together to enable them to meet and make new friends, build support networks in the community and learn and share skills. Our activities help to build confidence and self-esteem, maintain good physical and mental health, reducing stress and preventing the onset of depression and anxiety. Our members value being able to speak to staff and volunteers about issues and problems and if we can’t help ourselves, then we signpost people to other support networks, quickly and efficiently or introduce people to local services, projects and leisure facilities.
