Using a mix of methods and approaches, the sessions included:

  • Discussions to support participants to have a better understanding of what keeping healthy means and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, both mentally and physically.
  • Easy read accessible information on leading a healthier lifestyle.
  • Step by step guide to planning and preparing simple inexpensive nutritious meals or snacks, followed by a basic cooking skills workshop.
  • Zumba or chair exercises, depending on fitness and mobility.

I now shop for healthier foods and go out on my own more.
