Healthy Options is a local charity helping people live well with long-term health conditions — or avoid developing them in the first place. We believe everyone deserves the chance to feel stronger, healthier, more confident and more connected, no matter their starting point.
.
Our ADAPT programme is a specialist 12-week service designed to help people improve strength, balance, mobility and confidence, with a strong focus on falls and frailty prevention. Through safe, supported exercise sessions and personalised guidance from our experienced team, people build the skills and confidence to stay active and independent for longer. Referrals come through GPs and healthcare professionals, and for many people ADAPT is the first step towards getting their life back on track.
.
After ADAPT, many people move on to THRIVE — our friendly 12-week community programme that helps people stay motivated, active and socially connected. THRIVE brings people together through regular activities, peer support and social sessions, creating a real sense of belonging and community. People can join through referrals from GPs, healthcare professionals and community organisations.
.
Although our programmes cost much more to deliver, clients are asked to contribute just £30 per month — and nobody is ever turned away because of money. Some people pay less, and some pay nothing at all. We can only do this thanks to fundraising, grants and the kindness of local supporters.
.
There are lots of ways you can help:
make a one-off donation,
set up a monthly direct debit,
share our work with others,
or even organise your own fundraising event.
.
Every pound raised helps someone take that first step towards better health, confidence and connection.
