Stronger Together is a 12-week free exercise class for adults aged 55+ who are not currently undertaking any other regular fitness activities. It is funded by the Public Health Department at the London Borough of Bexley. The aim of the programme is to maintain health and fitness and prevent frailty and falls which can significantly impact quality of life. The programme also offers the opportunity to meet other people over a cup of tea or coffee and supports people to access other services that may be relevant to their needs. Participants will undertake an assessment at the beginning and the end of the 12 week programme in order to track improvements.
