Fit for Caring is a fun healthy lifestyle programme designed just for carers.

Have a break from caring, socialise and have fun whilst keeping healthy.

Based upon the Award winning Blues Fit for Life programme. Fit for Caring will improve the health and physical activity levels of carers - children, young people and adults.

The sessions combine theory and practical activities to exercise both mind and body and are delivered by qualified and experienced staff members.

There is a new programme starting in association with Southend Carers Forum...

'Keeping Carers Healthy' will run fortnightly throughout the year at the Clarence Road Baptist Church starting on Thursday September 22nd from 1pm until 3pm.

Sarah Potts, Health & Well Being Officer, Southend United Community & Educational Trust:

‘’1 in 4 of us are carers in some form or another so it is important that we maintain our own health and well being, so that we can help those we care for. Fit for Caring will combine fun physical sessions with great advice on nutrition and how to get help if needed"

Fit for Caring is being funded by the NHS and all sessions are free to participants. Just call Lesley or Sarah on 01702 341 351 to find out more information and to book a place.
