Courses and Groups

Description

The Millan Centre's Over 50s Group has been running for about 15 years. It is the most successfully run group with up to 30 women attending each session. The group now runs a four-hour session per week every Wednesday. The session includes an exercise class and the ladies participate in various activities such as knitting, arts and crafts and safety sessions. They have also been on trips to York, White Rose Shopping Centre, Blackpool and Bradford industrial Museum. The group has also participated in Neighbourhood Forums, AGMs (Annual General Meetings) and has campaigned successfully in the past to keep the Millan Centre open.

Snacks and lunch are provided for £3.50, we serve healthy food. Our aim is to encourage women to eat healthier food which will enable them to improve their health. The women can choose from jacket potatoes, fish, fruit and salad to meet their dietary requirements.

The group has taken part a variety of classes and activities such as, English Classes, IT Classes, Recycle Project, Knitting, Exercise Sessions, Healthy Eating, Socialising and Discussions on topics such as health and nutrition. The activities allow the women to learn new skills as well as being able to socialise with one another.

The group has also had health information such as for diabetes and other long-term medical conditions through talks from health professionals. This enables the women to gain knowledge on topics that may concern them and improve their general health and well being.

"My name is Tasneem Kausar. I have been coming to the group for about 3 years. I have taken part in knitting, exercise, computer classes and discussions. The thing I enjoy the most about the group is the gathering and talking to ladies. I will encourage others to come as we enjoy ourselves. The talks and activities like English and the Computer classes were really good."
