Generation Gains – Saints Foundation
Senior Saints is our first ever programme that specifically works with isolated older people over the age of 65, many of whom do not have family members or friends to rely on. With sessions delivered within local community settings at venues across Southampton, as well as at St Mary’s Stadium, Senior Saints has three key focuses: a core stability exercise programme that reduces the risk of falls in older people, reminiscence groups that use football and sport as a vehicle to tackle early signs of dementia and loss of memory amongst older people and an activity programme that offers a wide variety of social and physical activities, or sometimes just a chance to have a chat and a piece of cake!
“It was truly a wonderful experience we were looked after from the moment we arrived and throughout the afternoon” Bill Palmer – Senior Saints participant.”
