We would like to be able to repair, replace or purchase new exercise equipment for the use of all our existing patrons and future members.
About this cause
We run exercise sessions specifically designed for older people who have medical problems which prevents them or limits them from attending normal centres, e.g. heart disease, COPD, Arthritis, Diabetes etc and our sessions are run from our own bespoke Gym in Royston, Barnsley. The exercise sessions are held in an environment which is secure, safe and supervised by qualified staff and support group members. The exercise sessions we run are attended by people who have had heart disease or respiratory disease and previously attended a rehabilitation programme. Our services can improve our patrons well being.
