#Prevention and Communities Grants Programme
Body, Mind, Spirit Partnership believes that living life well into older age is improved by remaining active and connected. We work through our local partner organisations who host and enable local activities, run by and with local people in neighbourhoods across the city.
Our organisations are open to all and offer a warm welcome inviting participation in locally hosted activities to improve the quality of life, well being and connectedness of local older people.
At Body Mind Spirit Partnership we are good at meeting new people where they are and helping them to take small steps at their own pace to connect in with the warm and welcoming places we provide.

We are positive about the contribution of older people alongside others in our communities to make them fantastic places to live for us all. As we get older our relationships and connections change and can become less in number. Sometimes we can find it difficult to find places to do things we enjoy together and make new connections near where we live and possibly new friends.

Our partners host a variety of activities that are led by local older people and fall into 4 main categories:
Welcome and Social
Physical and Wellbeing
Shared Interest
Learning

These activities will vary by partner and it is through participation in activity together that we see people develop and grow in ways they might not imagine were possible.
All details of activities by partner are available on our website and you can find the closest organisation to you on there too.

Any citizen aged over 50 is welcome.
Activities are mainly held face to face each week in local church or community spaces. There are a small number of phone or online activities.

We don’t want anything to stop people coming along so just drop in or if it would help for the individual to be expected and looked out for then please refer them to the development practitioner in the partner organisation you want to connect them to.

Most of our activities are free, however there may be minimal charges to cover some additional activity costs or trips.
