Tai Chi is an ideal exercise for older adults, offering a gentle, low-impact workout suitable for all levels. Whether you’re new to Tai Chi or have limited experience, our wonderful instructor, Rob, is trained to teach techniques specifically for arthritis management and fall prevention.

It's a wonderful opportunity for us to help vulnerable members of the community and ease the burden of social isolation, which we know can lead to poor health outcomes. With regular visits, both volunteers and older people can build meaningful connections and make a real difference in each other's lives.
