Our Balanced Lives programmes are an opportunity for you to engage in a range of activities including gentle movement, obtaining basic health advice and learning new life skills. It is also your chance to meet with people of similar age and interests and to get some suggestions to improve overall health and well-being.
Our regular weekly groups in Peterborough include our ‘Balanced Lives’ programmes and our ‘Better Together’ social programmes.
Our Balanced Lives programmes focus on a range of activities including gentle movement, basic health advice, learning new life skills, and meeting people of similar age and interests, plus some suggestions to improve overall health and well-being.
The programme is aimed at supporting residents of Werrington Lodge Care Home to become physically active, improve their mobility and create positive attitudes towards exercise. The group sessions are also open to non-residents of 65+.
The project is supported by Sport England* in partnership with community development initiative Groundwork.

More about the Werrington Lodge Care Home group
There are currently around 60 residents at the Werrington Lodge Care Home with conditions that include: dementia, disabilities and long-term problems like diabetes.
The Balanced Lives project is a groundbreaking model for care homes. It tackles negative attitudes towards physical activity, while encouraging residents and older neighbours to make exercise a regular and integral part of their lives.
According to Sport England*, 54% of people aged 75 and over are physically inactive, which means they do less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week. For people with long term health conditions, many of whom live in care homes, this figure is much higher.
