A short walk can make a big difference, especially as we age. Just 10–20 minutes a day can help keep your heart healthy, joints flexible, and muscles strong. Walking also boosts mood, supports balance, and helps maintain independence longer.

This week is Dementia Action Week πŸ’™

Are you a family member or care giver of loved ones living with Dementia? Do you know about Safe and Found Online?

The online platform allows users to create a profile which stores vital information such as photographs and medication required and is immediately accessible to the police in the event they go missing.

It is a digital version of the Herbert Protocol and can be regularly updated, increasing the chances of a successful search.

Here are some tips to stay well in hot weather:

β˜€οΈ Stay out of direct sunshine, especially between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours

β˜€οΈ If you’re going out during these times walk in the shade, apply sunscreen, wear a hat, sunglasses and light, loose-fitting, light-coloured clothes

β˜€οΈ Apply sunscreen frequently of at least SPF 30 and 4 or 5 star ultraviolet A (UVA) protection regularly to exposed skin

Be careful in hot weather. Here are a few tips to help keep your home cool:

β˜€οΈ Close blinds and curtains on windows that are exposed to direct sunlight, move to the coolest part of your home and open windows (if it is safe to) when the air feels cooler outside than inside

β˜€οΈ A cool living space is especially important for infants, older people or those with long-term health conditions

β˜€οΈ Use electric fans if the temperature is below 35Β°C, but do not aim the fan directly at the body

β˜€οΈ Go outside if it is cooler in the shade

Northern Broadsides’ Park Youth Theatre, is a free acting group for ages 8-18, which is now run from Halifax Unity on Wednesday evenings in term-time.
Through the sessions, participants build confidence, creativity and communication skills while exploring acting, movement, storytelling and performance in a supportive environment. There are two groups (one for ages 8-14, and another for ages 15-18).

Open to beginners and those with experience, the youth theatre gives young people the chance to make new friends, express themselves, work collaboratively and gain insight into the world of theatre and performance. Participants have previously performed at community events and festivals across Calderdale.

Please see attached flyer and you can find out more and sign up to the sessions here:

We're taking part in the Active Calderdale Active Park Ward Around the World Challenge. Starting in Halifax, we're hoping that with the steps collated throughout local community groups and members, we can get enough steps to walk around the world.
Our ladies loved the goodie bags, the water bottles will keep them hydrated as we get moving together. They've been on the treadmill and taking part in exercise class, along with our staff and volunteers the steps are adding up already.
I wore my Paris dress for the occasion, as we are off to continental Europe first *Marie* 😁
Let's keep moving ladies
