Hello,
One of our class members Graham Lockwood is a presenter on Radio Leyland. An interview he did recently was with the Wellbeing Coach, Roger Boardman, from the Leyland Primary Care Trust, where they were discussing the Strong and Steady programme. If you or a friend are losing confidence with balance or have had a fall it is worth doing this programme, and you can self-refer into it at your GP Practice. Here is the interview from about 27 minutes in: Breakfast with Sam Beattie 17 Sep 2025 (guest Roger Boardman) by RadioLeyland | Mixcloud
I will be talking to the latest graduates from the programme next Tuesday morning. (That is why there are no Euxton classes.) It is really encouraging to see how well people have done through it, and some then join our regular Do Fitness classes.
Please note the following timetable changes:
No Forever Fit and Chairfit at Euxton Community Centre on Tuesday 21 October
No Chairfit at St Mary’s Community Centre on Thursday 30 October
