At Home Instead Wandsworth, Lambeth & Dulwich, we know that staying active is one of the best things you can do for your health as you get older. It keeps the body moving, the mind sharp, and spirits high, especially when it’s done in a friendly, supportive environment.

That’s why we’re really pleased to be working in partnership with FitFor, a long-established, family-run health and fitness business based locally. Together, we’re looking at how we can promote safe, age-appropriate exercise for older adults across our boroughs and make it more accessible than ever.

Why Exercise Matters in Later Life

You don’t need to run marathons to feel the benefits of exercise. Simple movement, done regularly and at your own pace, can have a huge impact.

Staying active helps with:

  • Balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls
  • Mobility and flexibility, making day-to-day tasks easier and preventing injury/hospitalisation
  • Mood and mental wellbeing, reducing feelings of loneliness or isolation
  • Strength and stability, supporting overall independence

For those living with long-term conditions such as Parkinson’s, gentle exercise tailored to individual needs can improve quality of life, boost confidence, and help manage symptoms over time.
