Seniors Club Punjabi
Sutton Coldfield NNS has supported Seniors Club Punjabi to
expand their service provision to three days per week and develop new groups
and activities. This has provided an inclusive service for Black, Asian and
Minority Ethnic communities to participate in groups where they have real
cultural connections and similar interests and hobbies. One of the sessions,
includes an inter-generational group, which has proven to be very positive in
lifting the spirit of their senior members and cross learning for the younger
generation. All sessions are varied and provide stimulating activities to
improve participants' emotional and physical well-being with sessions as varied
as tai chi, yoga, traditional singing, poetry, health discussions, recipe
sharing and walking.
“I was so isolated and suffered from depression and various
health problems. Since attending Senior Punjab group, I feel a great sense of
purpose and my overall health has improved! I really look forward to the
sessions each week!”

Successful Ageing
Workshops
“I have learnt so much by attending these classes and my
mental health has significantly improved. I am able to recognise when I’m
feeling low and negative and quickly bring myself to positive mind set.”
Successful Ageing Project was funded through the NNS small
grants, to support the mental health and emotional well-being of
citizens. Two online workshops were facilitated, including one in
community languages and they can be delivered in the community- face to face!
The sessions focus on early prevention of mental health and
on grass root issues around daily self-care. They provide techniques such
as recognising symptoms of stress, yoga, mindfulness, managing health problems
and building resilience.
