Movemoor comes to an end

Our Movemoor project has come to an end - 12 weeks of weekly online strength & balance classes for local residents. Instructor Clare Parker taught the residents several chair-based dance routines over the sessions, including moves from traditional Indian dance, Bollywood and tai chi.

The feedback from participants has been very positive, including one lady remarking that ‘I feel much more confident standing now…my vertigo is much better’, and another participant commenting how ‘I’ve moved muscles I haven’t moved in years…it feels good!’.

We are currently recruiting for our next online project, called Let’s Get Connected - 12 weeks of online social and activity sessions. The aim of this project is to help elderly isolated residents receiving domiciliary care get connected to the internet if they aren’t already, and enabling them to have regular social contact via the group. The activities, including art, music and gentle chair-based dance, will be taught by Devon-based professionals, and will be due to start in late February.

If you have someone in mind to take part, email Camilla on camilla@moretonhampstead.com or call 01647 440692.
