Female Wellbeing Over 50’s 2022
Article Written:Female Wellbeing is a session where anyone can come along to learn how to better their physical and mental wellbeing. It has been a massive success this year and the feedback has always been very positive.
In 2022 we have had 44 sessions, engaged with 23 individuals and had 286 attendances. We now have a regular group of around 10 ladies who come regularly to this group and other Middleport Matters activities.
Over the year we have done a lot of different activities that have all benefitted the groups wellbeing. 100% of attendees have said that they feel their wellbeing has improved since attending the sessions.
“This group is amazing, I used to just sit at home and stare at the same four walls, but I really, really love coming here, you’re all amazing” Pam – regular attendee
“I can’t get out much and a lot of groups are either too far or at the wrong time for me. I love coming along and have made a good friend here who now keeps me company – we’re like double trouble wherever we go now” Caz – regular attendee
Middleport Links Project
As part of female wellbeing the group took part in the Middleport Links project where the group came up with concepts for a clay tile artwork design for alongside the canal in Middleport.
The group thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this project and are now very proud of the final installation which will hopefully be a longstanding piece of art for everyone to enjoy
