Sensory Move & Mingle Online Sessions

This is a new pilot programme designed to support you to get moving and socialising locally, run by Colchester United FC and ECL Sensory Service. The sessions run 12-1 every Monday. This is what they have to say……

Covid 19 has affected our lives in many ways and the lockdown has affected some more than others. We understand the barriers people with sight and /or hearing loss have faced accessing physical exercise while we are in lockdown. We also understand the importance of chatting with others to reduce feelings of isolation while our usual activities are interrupted.

We are offering a new opportunity to address these issues via an online platform.

Our aims are to support you to:

• Improve your general fitness and mobility in a safe and accessible way.
• Increase your social contacts and opportunities to meet people.
• Share local information with others in Essex.
• Improve your confidence using an online platform such as Zoom.

This is a ten-week pilot project enabling us to assess its value and impact. We welcome suggestions of activities to be included and the direction in which this group takes from all participants, so please engage with us as it evolves.
