"Gentle Exercise"

The groups are also very active in trying to help people improve their quality of life by offering "Gentle Exercise" classes meeting weekly at more than 20 different venues, serving Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield.

These classes are relaxed and very friendly and are suitable for those not used to exercise and aim to improve mobility and personal independence.

They are supported by Health Authorities, regeneration funds and the fundraising of the local NOS support groups.
