Active ageing and creative ageing go hand in hand. Keeping the body healthy by walking around and doing strength exercises as well as using the brain for creativity through arts and crafts helps the body age well. If you have a passion for promoting physical activity or have a passion for crafting art projects, apply to be a volunteer at Bellevue today.
Our wonderful Health and Fitness Promoter, will give you the resources and expertise required to become an Active Ageing Volunteer. The role will support people to move to and from the dining room and participate in walking groups and other fitness activities.
