Complicated Lives Active

Older People’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Active

Started 2018. Outside the Box is working with a wide range of older people and organisations to find ways for older people to get good support for their mental health and wellbeing. These conversations have been going on over several years and we expect they will continue. We've brought together these conversations in the form of a long report and a summary report- we hope you will find them useful.

Belly Dancing in Care Homes

Started 2015. A pilot project to help people in care homes have more fun and get more exercise through belly dancing. Being physically active is a challenge for many people as they get older. People who live in care homes face even higher risks of falls and significant health problems and even fewer connections with their communities as a result.
