Last week we held our annual whole team meetings at Trafford Leisure, Urmston and our theme was movement.
We were delighted to have been joined by representatives of both Trafford Leisure and Greater Manchester Moving to support us in our work.
After some thought-provoking presentations, we turned our attention to some group working, asking:
What does movement really look like for residents? How do we empower (or unintentionally disempower) through our daily routines? Where do small efficiencies cost someone their independence? And how do we build “movement snacks” into our own days?
Over three days, the team came up with some brilliant commitments for their own long-term health span, and for helping residents move more, every day. It all feeds into the bigger conversation around metabolic health, dementia risk reduction, and strength for longevity.
So if you walk into Bowfell and see people mid wall-sit, mid-plank, you’ll know why!
We are looking forward to further collaboration with both @greatermanchestermoving and Trafford Leisure.
