50+ Classes

Intergenerational Movement Classes

Tuesdays 4 – 5.30pm

 

We’re really excited to introduce a new type of class here at BALPA. As you know, we’re passionate about getting people moving and making new friendships. Intergenerational Movement Classes (known as Move Together) start this September in partnership with Age UK South Gloucestershire. This is a 45-minute fun and interactive class, which involves drama and movement aimed at bringing different generations together.   There will then be a further 45 minutes social time with hot and cold drinks, cakes and biscuits afterwards.  

 

Each family or child who joins the classes will be paired with an older person, with the aim of building friendships and connections. We all know how good movement is for our mental and physical health, but research has also shown that intergenerational classes help both older and younger generations. This is for children aged 4 – 8 and residents of our local community aged 50+.  A voluntary donation will be given on entrance.

Sing Out!

Fridays 2 – 3.30pm

 

Are you aged 50+?  Do you want to make friends and have fun singing and socialising together?  Then look no further!  We have the class for you.  Sing Out! is a chance for you to sing together songs you enjoy, learn some new songs and have fun together!  This class will run on a Tuesday from 2 to 3:30 pm – the first 45 minutes will be spent singing and then the rest of the time is a chance to socialise over coffee and cake.  There is no charge for this singing opportunity, but we ask for a voluntary donation each week.  This class is run in association with Age UK South Gloucestershire.
