- Specially trained staff.
- Each session is run by an experienced member of staff, exercise/swimming instructor and caters for a range of abilities and ages.
- Improved signage to help you get find your way around Bridgend Life Centre and Ogmore Vale Life Centre where Feel Good for Life activities take place.
- Use of the larger, unisex changing booths (enabling carers to support clients of different genders)

Who do we support

There is significant evidence to highlight that remaining physically active and mentally stimulated and connected to friends, family & communities, can have on our health and wellbeing.

For those diagnosed with dementia, it doesn't mean you have to stop doing the activities that you enjoy or stop you trying new things. Research shows that low impact exercise can be beneficial for physical and mental health and can improve the quality of life for people in all stages of dementia. The sessions have many added benefits including:
- Clear your mind and anxiety.
- Improve your mood and encourage positive thought.
- Opportunity to socialise reduce loneliness and have fun.
- Help to ensure a better night’s sleep.
- Improvement of motor skills to effectively improve the function of the brain, in aspects including decision making, problem solving, and movement.
