RESIDENTS aged over 55 are being urged to take up fitness activities aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles for older people.
The Say Go! scheme covers a range of activities at different venues across the borough, including sports, dance and yoga lessons.
It is organised by Age Concern Barnet, with funding from Barnet Council and Sport England.
The classes are run in partnership with a number of faith and community groups, including the Barnet African Caribbean Association, Barnet Asian Old People’s Association and the Anand Day Centre, but anyone aged over 55 is welcome to attend.
A new ten-week course of tai chi was launched on Tuesday, aimed specifically at members of the borough’s Ismaili Muslim community, to be held at the North London Jamatkhana, in East End Road, Finchley.
