Age & Opportunity is continuing to provide safe opportunities for people to be more active.
Its new initiative FitLine is a free telephone service, run by volunteers, that hopes to get older people moving within their communities.
It has recently received funding with the support of Sport Ireland and Healthy Ireland’s Keep Well Campaign to take FitLine national, providing the service in both rural and urban areas.
Age & Opportunity is currently encouraging older people to give them a call on their freephone line and learn more about finding that motivation to get active and healthier.
Mentor
After being set up with FitLine, a mentor will arrange a time to ring their participant every two weeks and will provide information, advice and gentle encouragement over the phone.
