The 60+ Active Leisure Scheme has been introduced across Wales to encourage physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices and to reduce health inequalities and social isolation for the 60+ years age group.
The scheme is funded by Sport Wales which has invested more than £1 million nationally with the aim of supporting the 60+ years population in Wales to live longer, better and happier lives by improving physical activity levels, confidence, strength and balance.
Presently in RCT 78% of adults above 60 years are not achieving the Chief Medial Officers (CMO) guidance of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity on a weekly basis. We currently have 36 sessions weekly running across 6 leisure facilities within the County Borough.
