    Tai Chi for Better Health

    by Tina, over 2 years ago

    Interest and numbers slowly growing for the class running at All Saints Church Parish Centre.

    Despite the low attendance I am confident that through word of mouth from the current participants numbers will increase.


    Here is some feedback from some of the class members;

    “Looked after the grandchildren this week and my daughter said ‘what are you on mum?, you’re like the Duracell bunny! Great improvement in energy” - Anne

    “Try it, it’s amazing” - JS

    “Great improvement for my balance and overall fitness” - MR

    “Only been for 2 weeks but am finding it relaxing”

    A lovely group who... Continue reading

    Sunningdale Bowling Club disabled bowler access plans - update 23 August 2022

    by Sunningdale Bowling Club, over 2 years ago
    A slow start to our project. In the process of appointing an architectural practice to assess options and prepare design for new access ramp together with modifications of doorways etc. This will allow us to invite tenders for the work.


    As this project is the start of making the club fully accessible the designers will also be considering everything else we need to change so that we can develop a comprehensive budget for the whole scheme. This will allow us to seek the additional funds which will be needed.

    Ready to start in September!

    by UnwindYS, over 2 years ago
    Yes, we are getting ready to start the programme, we have had a big community response and have now filled the first class 80% confirmed. Just used the grant this week to purchase some of the equipment we need to run this class: chairs, and yoga balls to get the feet and ankles mobile (important when you work on balance from the ground up).

    by JonDavey, over 2 years ago
    Website is coming along nicely with 33 pages published... we've just commissioned a designer to come up with the logo and also create a 4 x A4 newsletter which will introduces BLT to an unsuspecting world, invites BLT Menu Options and encourages BLT Expert Partners to step up and says a BIG THANK YOU to Frimley Health and Care. We will be hosting our first BLT Weekly Meeting from Monday 5th September, 6:30pm for 7pm start at Woody's Cafe, Pirate Park, Windsor. Apart from that, not a lot happening here ;) Thank you. Jon

    Blokes Losing Timber

    by JonDavey, over 2 years ago

    Blokes Losing Timber (BLT) is all about helping blokes with their health & wellbeing so they can live happier, potentially more rewarding lives.

    There can be a tendency to try and make big changes quickly and this mostly ends in failure and disappointment for the bloke, resulting in falling back to the old behaviours and disappointment in oneself.

    BLT uses the Pareto Principle as the foundations which states that 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes, asserting an unequal relationship between inputs and outputs. So if our goal is to make a 20% change in our health &amp... Continue reading

    Really pleased to be included in the Health and Wellness Project run by RBWM & NHS, my sincere thanks for the opportunity to make a difference go to Nicky and Sumayyah.

This accessible and effective exercise routine involves gentle stretching and relaxing and has many health benefits, as well as calming mind and body. Overall health, wellness, balance and mobility can be greatly improved with regular practice. I strive to keep the classes as low cost as possible enabling... Continue reading

    UNWIND 70+ YOGA

    by UnwindYS, over 2 years ago

    So happy to be updating here about the Health & Wellness project I am running with the help of the RBWM & NHS team, Nicky and Sumayyah.


    I am Sandra and I have been awarded a grant to set up a yoga class for the over 70s and people with mobility issues.


    There is much research about yoga being effective as a preventative measure for current and future mobility issues and fall prevention is one of them, plus gentle strengthening, balance work. Making classes available for free or at very low cost to participants will open up the opportunity to... Continue reading
