Abbeycroft:
Improving health and wellbeing
We exist to help people be healthy, live longer and have fun
We do this by re-investing our profits back into the organisation, which allows us not only to offer great services and experiences at our facilities, but also allows us to work collaboratively with partners to offer a range of effective health and community programmes.
As a trusted partner, we work together to design programmes and wellbeing opportunities for those who need it most, addressing issues such as:-
- Inequality
- Poverty
- Isolation
- Long-term health conditions
- Frailty and Falls
- Preventative health conditions
The short case studies below reflect some of our present and past programmes.
