Action for Elders Programmes in Hereford
We have been running Balanced Lives social exercise groups in Hereford since 2011, making them one of our longest running centres.
We have two programmes running in this area at Henfordd Gardens and Bryngwyn Court.
Suitable for all abilities
Balanced Lives classes are a mix of exercise and social activities and are suitable for all abilities. They include basic health advice and the chance to share your life and skills with other people. It is an opportunity to meet with people of similar age and interests and to improve your overall health and well-being in a friendly, helpful environment.
They are the perfect way for those in later life to get fitter, meet other people and enjoy themselves.

What our group members say
Falls Prevention
The Balanced Lives programme has proven to be invaluable in the prevention of falls for older people. Fall Prevention experts frequently refer patients to our programmes throughout the UK and this has been the case in Hereford.
“The more people can keep moving and keep active – the less chance they’ve got of falling.” Sarah Jones, Falls Care Navigator, Nexus
Success Stories
Sheila suffers from fibromyalgia and coeliac disease and has been in pain for many years. Her health and wellbeing is improving on a weekly basis through attending the Balanced Lives programme. She is feeling stronger and happier.
“I am experiencing considerably less pain since taking part in the programme,” says Sheila.
Daphne loves attending Balanced Lives and has made lots of new friends. Before joining the programme, she was extremely lonely and only went out for health appointments. Daphne now feels confident enough to attend all the other activities at Bryngwyn Court, including a recent day trip to Swansea. “Daphne has thrived since coming to Balanced Lives and has regained her confidence,” says the Housing Centre Manager.
