Question: Do you find, Location, Cost, Age, Disability and Culture prevent you from accessing Mainstream Leisure & Physical Activity Facilities?
Answer: Our older adults services provide local, easily accessible, age, ability and culturally appropriate opportunities, designed to holistically address the underlying Health Risk Factors and to deliver better health outcomes to the communities we serve.

Luncheon Club
Are you housebound, socially isolated and lonely?
Loneliness is painful and breeds unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, unhealthy habits
like smoking and excessive drinking, fuelling conditions like anxiety, depression and a host of physical health conditions and cognitive decline.
Our local, friendly luncheon club provides you an opportunity to get out of your homes, relax, enjoy refreshments, a subsidised hot meal, and make new friends.
It’s much more than just refreshments and a meal; it’s a place for laughter, various activities, cultural celebrations and Learning about Health & Wellbeing.

Arts & Crafts
Discover the joy of creating something beautiful with your own hands in your Golden Years.
You don't need any experience, just a willingness to try something new to explore your own creativity.
Research shows that engaging in art and crafts provide older adults with a vital creative outlet, significantly enhancing their mental, physical, and emotional well-being by helping to lower stress and anxiety, boosting cognitive functions, improving fine motor skills, and provide a strong sense of accomplishment, coordination of the smaller muscle groups in the hands, fingers and wrists.
Unleash your creativity, have fun, and there is also time for tea, coffee, and for a chat as well!

Health Talks
A study by Enfield Council show that four human behaviours caused five major diseases resulting in 73% of deaths in the Borough.
Each one of us has a moral duty to prevent development of diseases and avoid early deaths. Behavioural change is the cornerstone of preventative healthcare.
Health professionals deliver evidence-based information sessions and discussions as an activity
of the Monday luncheon club sessions. Leading a healthy lifestyle is the only practical way
to prevent behaviour-based non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease & stroke,
cancer, lung disease, type 2 diabetes and mental health.
Join us to adopt expert' advice to learn how you can change destructive habits.
Lifestyle is modifiable, so join us and listen to the professionals, to replace unhealthy habits with positive actions, and drastically reduce the risk of chronic, lifestyle-related diseases and live longer.
If you do not help yourself to be healthy, no one else can!
