Trainlng
110+ volunteers received training on Safeguarding, Good Governance, Induction to Impact, Basic Firsl Aid and Food

Mid Ulster Volunteer Centre
{A company limited by guarantee, not havlng a share capltall
This is the first year of the Forever Young projecl funded by National Lottery Community Fund. A new PTojed Leader
and Project Assistant were appointed for this 4 year programme. Over the course of the year, we have ¢onlinued to
run an exlénsive schedule of classes and activitie$ Ihal reflect the needs and wishes of the members.
This has been trial and error when introducing new classes however using taster sessions and activity questionnaires
has helped to gauge what the community want to engage in.
As the demographics are changing and we have an ageing population, the age to join is now 60+ with some wavering
made lo those under age bracket whom may be facing social isolation, loneliness, mental illness or disability.
The programme continues to see Consistent numbers attending Ihe classes- luncheon club, Chair exercise, crochet,
lalkslinformalion sessions. The talks included scams, TAKE 5 steps to heallh and well-being, STEP on benefits and
budgeting, energy efficienw and home safety delivered by the Council and gut health. These were received positively
and had on average 20 in attendance in each of these workshops. These will conlinue to occur throughout the
following year to indude topics that are relative to older people.
We also had 2 cooking sessions '7 days 7 dinners, pilot by Public Health Agency {PHA) which was funded by PHA.
These had great interest,. we had hoped for people to receive 2 sessions however because numbers were high. we
had to splil among 2 sessions. We would be keen to continue these workshops based on the interest and
healthleducational benefits.
A part of the funding application was to start up a Men's Group. We held a ￿lebratIon moming in November 2023
where we cooked a fy and gauged ideas and thoughts of what a men's group would look like for them. We had 20+
in attendance and got new regislralions. We have held men specific sessions induding prostate cancer talk, visit from
wartime memorial, cooking session. AGE Nl's Good Vibrations (men's programme) came to talk to the men on health
and well-being. We have also worked in partnership with Sperrin's Men Shed which a few of the men enjoyed planting
some vegetables and olhers built a bench and some planters. This is something we plan to develop further. It has
been diffiGult engaging the men on a consistent basis and we will need to look into Ihis further to see how we can
over￿Me thi5 challenge.
other things we have held over the pasl year has been- chair yoga, line dancing, wreath making workshop, craft
workshops, painting classes, trip to Portstewart. Chrislmas pantamime. Christmas dinner (we had the pleasure of
having pupils from local school's carol singing during this), coffee mornings and aftemoon tea.
The consistent numbers attending classesfvdorkshops each week demonstrates the need for the programme and
through evaluations il is evident the benefits it has to our members.
Have met new friends at the Tuesday luncheon club and look fOnVa￿ to going as much as I can..

'It is vital that the pmject continues."

The projects aim is to combat loneliness and reduce social isolation and it is clear that this is actively being achieved
with members reporting they have met new friends, feel less isolated and lonely, gives them a reason to go out and
improved mental heaRh. In addition, the extensive range of Glasses, workshopsftalks and lunches supports and
