The Ageing Well Functional Fitness MOT is a project that has been funded by Frognal Local Care Network (LCN) for 2 years to support mild to moderately frail residents with falls prevention, improvement of functional wellness and to provide signposting for sessions to enhance functional fitness within this defined area. The project will be working to engage with people who may be experiencing health challenges but are not accessing support, therefore engaging with them prior to a crisis.
Your role will be to create and lead a network of organisations and individuals to deliver functional fitness MOTs and who can provide support for functional fitness. You will also provide a regular link with the local population which could be utilised by other services and campaigns such as cancer prevention or dementia awareness. You will work to strengthen the network of community groups, statutory services and businesses working together to deliver improvements to health and wellbeing. You will engage with local residents to gather feedback about what is important to them and involve people in the development of additional health and wellbeing support.
Although the funding is only for two years at this point, if the project is successful we will be applying for further grants with a view to continuing with it, and rolling it out across the rest of the borough eventually.
