Focus Birmingham are launching a new health and wellbeing programme as part of Birmingham City Council’s Prevention and Early Intervention Programme.
Focus Birmingham’s programme is designed to deliver a range of physical and emotional wellbeing activities for older people and those with a visual impairment promoting the benefits of leading a healthier lifestyle.

Examples of activity include Oomph, Yoga and Dance. They will build the core strength, coordination, balance and mobility of our citizens, thus reducing the risks of trips and falls,which in turn, can lead to social isolation and disengagement.

The programme will be aligned with the following BCC Prevention

Outcomes:
• Increased social participation
• Healthier lifestyles
• Citizens are able to access a
relevant and diverse community
offer
Citizens are able to access opportunities to actively participate in their neighbourhoods and community/communities. The programme is framed to proactively support increased social participation through facilitating key group activities, as well as to support our Volunteer Champions facilitating and supporting people to fully access these groups.

The health and wellbeing programme will be delivered across the city at accessible venues to ensure maximum reach and will form part of the full range of Sight Loss Support Services we are proud to provide here at Focus Birmingham.
