This project delivers a Social, Psychological and Physical Support Programme proven to be key to behavioural changes leading to long term sustainable improvements in mental and physical health in Older People. Active Futures works on a three-step approach to supporting older people, many of whom have low mood/poor mental health on commencement. These people have MSK conditions, fragility, and are at risk of falls.

It is anticipated that the project will improve self-esteem and physical health of participants as well as reduce GP/nurse visits, A& E attendances, ambulance call outs and hip fractures.
