When it comes to being motivated to take action towards your health goals, our approach is to encourage our clients to focus on what is really important to them. e.g. continuing to live independently at home, getting back to cycling with friends, being able to keep up with the grandchildren etc. We all have different things that are really important to us.

We would love to hear from you if you would be willing and able to give some time and share your expertise.
We are a Community Interest Company, limited by guarantee, and therefore use the term director, rather than trustee. However, essentially, the role and responsibilities are the same. The board meet about 4 times each year, depending on current projects, and you would be expected to attend these meetings wherever possible. This can be in person or remotely. In addition, if you are able to give further time to steering projects, it would be very welcome but not essential.
We hope to hear from you - questions are welcome.
