Health, Wellbeing and Care Hub

Move and Meet

An elderly person, mostly out of shot, holding a small blue and yellow ball in one hand. Another person's hand is resting on their wrist, about to guide them to move the ball.

Our Move and Meet groups are for people who are looking to improve their mobility; reduce their risk of falls and socialise in a friendly environment.

We will aim to address any strength and balance issues you have and help you maintain and improve your movement whilst providing an opportunity to exercise in a friendly environment.

This two-hour group session runs weekly in the Hub and includes a 45-minute exercise group, a refreshment break, with light refreshments offered by the Hub, and a group activity (chosen by the group, based on the needs of the group).

Service users will be offered six sessions, and we will work with you to identify ways in which you can continue to exercise and socialise once our sessions finish. Where a high number of referrals are received, a clinical priority and waiting list system will be implemented.

To access this service, please complete our adult referral form and email to healthwellbeingcare@essex.ac.uk and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss your referral.
