Podcast Episode 2. Staying Positive.

This practical guide explains the benefits of keeping physically fit and well and indicates the reasons why exercise is so important for us.

Coronavirus has had a huge impact on some Leg Club venues and continues to do so. Our priority is helping and supporting our volunteers and members (patients) both during and after the crisis. Things are not returning to normal any day soon, and perhaps never will completely, but your Leg Club nurses are working extremely hard to adapt to a new way of working with their Club.

Join Carole who will be talking about the importance of the Leg Club model and the social interaction of the members in a Leg Club.

Social relationships are a key component of quality of life for many older people and volunteers who thrive in a collaborative social network.

Listen to Ellie Lindsay discussing loneliness and the importance of keeping a positive attitude.

Loneliness and social isolation can also have serious consequences on an individual’s physical, mental and social health. But the risks of social isolation depend not only on who you are, but also on where you live.
