Raising Awareness Of Activity Sessions For World Alzheimer’s Day

 

Everybody Sport and Recreation provides Aqua Relax sessions which are a chance for people diagnosed with specific medical conditions and their carers to come and enjoy a relaxing swim, take part in a range of activities and socialise with others.

Andy Molyneux Disability & Inclusion Lead says “Come and join us for one of our Aqua Relax sessions, it’s an opportunity for you and a family member or friend to move more and be active at your own pace. It’s also a chance to meet other people and to enjoy a drink in our Taste For Life cafe’s at Crewe Lifestyle Centre.”  

NHS choices states “There’s some evidence to suggest that rates of dementia are lower in people who remain as mentally, physically and socially active as possible throughout their lives, as well as among those who enjoy a wide range of different activities and hobbies”
