Volunteers and paid workers have a key part to play in encouraging people in being more active. Find the support you need to gain and develop your skills.

Working with Older Adults

As we get older it is important that we keep moving. Moving helps us maintain our independence and stay healthy.

We have developed some advice for people working with older adults. This aims to help you discuss being more active and support people to move a little bit more.

The video below shows how you can support older adults to get moving.
