MEET IRIS, 91
For Iris, maintaining strength means maintaining independence. Through MWP Community Care's Exercise & Wellbeing Programs she continues doing the things she loves while remaining active within her community.
Two years ago, Iris never imagined she would be able to walk to her local shops independently again.
After joining MWP Care's exercise program, she rebuilt her strength, confidence and independence.
“Your support means more people like Iris can continue living independently.”

Testimonials
"Before I started the exercise classes, I couldn't tie my own shoelaces anymore." MWP Care's exercise classes helped me regain my flexibility, confidence and independence. Without these classes, I wouldn't be able to do many of the everyday things I can do now. "It's wonderful to be able to do things for yourself again."
Lorraine Mckenna (age 85)
These classes allow us to do amazing things we never thought we’d be able to do. I come home every week thinking they are just brilliant. Vivienne (instructor) is wonderful and I can only give her the highest praise.
Jilda (91 years)
“It's keeping me alive.” “The exercise classes make you feel more positive about yourself. You just have to turn up.”
“Vivienne (Trainer) has a heart of gold and knows exactly what I need.”
