We will set up 5 group sessions entitled 'Healthy Eating' which include sessions on Good Nutrition, Recipes for Health, Herbs for Health, Losing Weight and Relaxation Techniques. We will also set up 5 sessions of Gentle Exercise using a trainer who is experienced in offering exercise sessions to people in wheelchairs and with limited mobility. Often this exercise is 'seated' and we would also like to purchase some soft balls which would aid these exercise classes.

We support people with disabilities to live independent lives in the communties of the South Hams of Devon. To enable them to make the most of the services and amenities of the communities, it is imperative that people living with disabilities are as healthy as they can be, for their own energy and ability to carry out daily tasks. Therefore, we are setting up a project of Healthy Eating - cookery and good nutrition - classes as well as Gentle Exercise groups and Slimming groups, to help this.

People will be healthier and be better able to manage their disabilities and long-term health conditions. Therefore, they will be more able to take part in all aspects of communtiy activity and everyday living and will be able to have a higher degree of independence. They will make fewer visits to doctors and their general well-being will be improved and therefore their ebnergy levels will be also improved. We are working towards an integrated community where there is equal access for all.
