Are you over 60 and want to be more active? Join Active for Life!

There are many benefits to moving your body, especially as we get older. Exercise and movement help us feel good, have fun, and meet others. Starting in March, Camden Council is supporting Camden adults over 60 to build activity and exercise into their daily routines through the Active for Life campaign, and we’re one of the local organisations involved.

Active for Life is a 12-week campaign running from March to June to support over 60s in Camden to become and stay active. Anyone can join and try the wide range of free and low-cost activities in Camden. Here at Castlehaven, we’ll be hosting a launch event and 6 weeks of FREE taster sessions.

The Launch Event

On Friday, 5th April, from 12 – 2 pm, we’ll be hosting a launch event in our Community Hub, where we’ll introduce the campaign and all the taster sessions we’ll be running for those over the age of 60.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the campaign, meet our team, enjoy a free, healthy lunch, and learn more about our taster sessions, which range from walking football to indoor bowls, walking netball to table tennis and more.

Plus, the first 30 people to sign-up for the taster sessions will receive a FREE one-year membership to our Ageactivity 60+ programme. This membership, worth £25, provides access to a year’s worth of free weekly activities, events, trips, and more.
