A new sporting memories group is launching soon at Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre (Gainsborough Rd, Stowmarket, IP14 1LH), on Wednesdays from 10:15 – 11:45am, commencing Wednesday 31st January.

This group is especially aimed at those over 50 who are living with a diagnosis of dementia, living with depression, or facing isolation or loneliness.

The intention is that this Stowmarket hub will provide fun and friendship to both clients and their carers. The session will be a mix of gentle exercise, including table tennis and Boccia, and provide time to chat and reminisce over a cup of tea or coffee.

It is their hope that they will link up with volunteers who can share their love and enjoyment of sport with others. As the group grows, they would also love to invite people in to speak as well as to assist with the sporting activities. If you know of friendly people who might be interested, please let them know.

You can book from one week in advance of the first session. They’ll take a note of any enquiries, names, and numbers in advance of this.

Please get in touch with Joanne Beales (Activity & Wellbeing Coordinator, Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre) for more information, on JoanneBeales@everyoneactive.com.
