What is the Ageing Well Network?
A network of sport and physical activity providers/partners who provide opportunities targeted at older people. The network will be a mix of face-to-face meetings and virtual/on-line communication, information sharing and training opportunities.
As part of the network development, we wish to support activity providers in the Bexhill area to access training to support work in leading exercise sessions for older people. Successful applicants will receive funding to cover the cost of a specific training course, a Level 3 Award in Designing Exercise Programmes for Older Adults or equivalent. The value of the grant is £360.00, the cost of the course.
Full details of the training which will be online, are available at Older Adult Instructor – Amac Training
Rother District Council, through the Active Rother programme, is working in partnership with Bexhill Town Council as part of the Old and Bold project in Bexhill, to provide this funding opportunity.
