Our aim is to empower people over 60 to look after their health and well being in an innovative and practical manner. The activities we are running are Ki Gong sessions which include gentle movement, stretching, breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation. Brain exercises are also incorporated from Ilchi Lee's Brain Education System which is recognised by the UN. So the services offered stimulate the body and the brain in a fun and informative way. ## • We have provided Ki Gong, Amrchair Yoga, meditation and breathing exercise classes to our beneficiaries. A big thank you to all the trustees, who without their contributions and commitment to delivering these services to our beneficiaries, none of this would have happened. **Thank you** to Magic Little Grants, run by Local Giving, who are in partnership with the Postcode Community trust for their £500 grant. **Thank you** to Kingston Charitable Foundation for their £500 grant. Thank you for all your help and the patience shown at all the community centres and homes we have been working with while we have been setting up Brighter Living for the beneficiaries. A big **thank you** to all the volunteers who came to the community centres and helped our service providers with such passion and commitment to the beneficiaries. And lastly a big thank you to our beneficiaries for attending the sessions and making this commitment to our local communities so worthwhile. This is good for everyone. **TAR** March **2020** 3 **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Brighter Living’s objectives for this year were to deliver the services offered by the charity to more elderly beneficiaries in Surrey and Surrounding areas. Our objectives are to help more older people in Surrey and surrounding areas achieve better body flexibility and agility. More older people in Surrey and surrounding areas achieve a more positive mindset. More older people in Surrey and surrounding areas feel less isolated and will have formed more friendships. More older people in Surrey and surrounding areas achieve more independence. We did not manage to achieve these objectives because of the slow recovery from lockdown. With a special thanks to grants coming from Magic Little Grants and Kingston Charitable Foundation, we will see the end of the year as an open opportunity to do more and better our performance. With weekly Ki Gong, Armchair yoga and meditation sessions happening in MILAAP, New Malden, The Longmead Centre and, we have maintaining from the growth of last year and our humble beginnings into helping over 60 beneficiaries with their health and well being. **Brighter Living** is continually reporting back to organisations we are working with in the local communities are we are receiving good recognition for our achievements. We are now starting to liaise with local organisations and local councils and are looking at ways to extend our services further because of the needs highlighted by the local councils of the areas we are covering.
