Be Active

Be Active is Anchor's wellness and movement programme to support the older people living with us to take care of their overall health and wellbeing.

Be Active offers a range of online resources including exercise routine videos, podcasts, and tips on how to keep the mind active including weekly live exercise demonstrations. We believe looking after your health and wellbeing should be easy and through Be Active will demonstrate how we can all make small changes to ensure this becomes part of our everyday lives and existing routines.
