Welcome to our new activities program aimed at people aged 60yrs & over, this is a re-brand of our Over 70s program

We are running four pilot sessions in September to gauge the interest of participants and to gather information from those people who attend regarding what they would like to see included in these sessions moving forward.

If you would like to see an activity included in our main program (which we will start later in the year) please email – Alison.brightman@bedford.gov.uk  –  please note that whilst we will consider all suggestions we cannot guarantee to include them all

Please come along and join us on the 7^th September, no need to book – just turn up and pay on the day

We are offering a new pilot session with our experienced Yoga teacher who is working alongside a local volunteer who translates the session live into Bengali.

This pilot session looks to reach a wider audience who may find it useful to have the additional guidance. The session is very gentle and takes place for 30 mins every Monday at 12.30.

The session is free to try, make a donation if you are able to and you enjoy the session. You can access the Zoom class via the link at Bedford Sport Live. You can follow the session in English or Bengali.
