Love to Move is a class specially designed to get people moving. The programme achieves this by carefully integrating the use of gymnastic foundation skills, cognitive stimulation therapy and social interaction activities.

Our lunch clubs offer a chance to get out of the house, have a hot, balanced meal - and not have to do the washing up! Lunch clubs are a great way to catch up with friends or to meet new people for a friendly chat. Sometimes our clubs invite guest speakers, and there may be opportunities to play games but there’s no obligation to join in!

Face to face befriending is one of our most popular services, befriending is exactly what it sounds like – getting people together to make friends. Many older people living in their own homes can become isolated and lonely, but with a regular weekly visit - perhaps to read the paper to a visually impaired person, or to play cards or accompany a member with their grocery shop - MHA Communities can help stop this from happening. Our trained volunteer befrienders are matched with scheme members based on their interests and personalities by their local scheme manager.

Telephone/online befriending is one of our most popular services, this is a regular conversation over the phone or online chat with a carefully matched volunteer. This service is available across Great Britain and is suitable for older people who prefer to stay at home or have limited mobility.
