Our team of friendly senior health coaches can support you in making lifestyle behaviour changes which could benefit your health and wellbeing.

They are here to listen to what matters to you and can help you identify steps to take to feel as healthy as possible.

We’ll listen to what really matters to you and provide the information and support you need to make any changes.  We can also guide you to local services that can make a difference to you or your situation.

  • Increasing your physical activity levels
  • Improving your emotional wellbeing and motivation to change.  This could be in relation to financial wellbeing, low mood or poor sleep.
  • Healthy eating
  • Working towards achieving a healthier weight
  • Reducing alcohol intake
