At 80 years old, I realised that it’s never too late to make positive changes in life. After losing my husband, I knew I needed to focus on my health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally.

I joined the group sessions at Buckland Community Centre. It was helpful that they had drop-ins after the programme for continuity of support. I enjoyed socialising with the group, and it greatly benefited me mentally.

I kept regular notes at the sessions, and was so pleased to have received a certificate at the end of the programme. My meals are more nutritious, and I’m feeling so much better.

Losing weight has helped me manage my medical conditions and improved my mobility. I feel more energetic and positive.

I shared plenty of ideas with the group, and it was wonderful to see everyone supporting each other. I highly recommend this programme.
