  • Exercises classes provided by Gateshead Salvation Army are proving transformational by improving older people's mobility and helping them recover after cancer and hip operations.

The Salvation Army in Gateshead is urgently seeking support to continue its free exercise classes, which have proven to be transformative for participants. These classes, held at the Gateshead Citadel, cater to individuals who might not otherwise afford or access such fitness opportunities, including those with health issues like COPD, heart conditions, and mental health challenges. The initiative not only promotes physical health but also significantly boosts mental well-being, with participants reporting improved confidence and social connections. The program, which has been running for over a year, faces discontinuation due to funding shortages, and the Salvation Army is appealing for donations or sponsorships to keep the classes operational. The classes are led by a qualified instructor and have become a vital part of the community, offering a supportive environment for exercise and social interaction.
