Fit as a Fiddle Conference

Date: 5th October 2010
Organised by: Age Concern
Venue: Burnley Football Club

A week or so ago I was lucky enough to attend the Fit as a Fiddle
Conference in Burnley. This programme, like Target: Wellbeing is funded by
the BIG Lottery Fund, and is currently in its 4th year.

It was really interesting to find out more about their projects that are helping older
people to be more active, eat healthily and to feel positive and engaged
with their community. From food tasting and cooking sessions to tai chi,
the range of activities was impressive! There was a lot of synergy with
Target: Wellbeing, and there were opportunities for me to "borrow" some
great ideas around activities and evaluation too!
