The Health and Wellbeing Scheme is a 12 month pilot project co-ordinated by Wigan and Leigh Housing and funded by Supporting People. Starting in January 2009, the project aims to further increase the quality of life of Older people across all tenures of the Hag Fold and Atherton area through the development of a programme of stimulating events and activities and by working in partnership with other agencies. The service has been set up to:
- ensure that people are receiving the benefits they are entitled to by working with advice agencies in the Wigan area.
- offer a range of different organised social activities and events which are aimed at increasing enjoyment, leisure and learning opportunities.
- offer healthy living initiatives such as exercise
- provide information to older people on staying safe and secure within their homes to reduce the risk of accidents and increase their independence.
- offer opportunities to older people to get involved and make a positive contribution.
