Please see the latest news and updates from the Re-Engage Project below.
"This year, we’re offering two fantastic free social activities for men and women who are 75 and over and living in Wales:
Active Together groups
As soon as it’s safe to do so, we’ll be launching new groups across Wales to help you stay fit and healthy, and meet new people.
You’ll be able to take part in an activity such as dancing, chair yoga, gardening, Tai Chi or boules, and there will be plenty of time afterwards for refreshments and a chat. All our groups are run by Re-engage volunteers who can also give you a lift to the venue and drop you home again afterwards.
We’re aiming to launch the groups in South Wales as soon as the government says it’s safe to do so and will open more across Wales later into the year. All the groups will adhere to current government guidelines and measures will be put in place to ensure your safety.
Online active together groups
Whilst we wait for restrictions to ease, Re-engage are launching a range of free activity groups for older people. We will be using trained instructors to run the following weekly sessions via Zoom!
• 23rd February – The Dragon’s Exercise Group
• 24th February – Chair Yoga with Margaret
• 25th February – Tai-Chi with Lis

Call Companions
We know a good chat can mean the world, especially in this current crisis. This is why we’ve set up a free a call companions telephone service for older people who live alone.
You can enjoy a regular chat with one of our friendly volunteers and we’ll even do our best to match you with someone we think you have lots in common with.
Whatever you chat about, it’ll help lift your spirits; make you feel whole again and more connected to the world.
