News from Alison Gordon at Age UK Enfield
Hope that you are keeping well. With the second national lockdown starting on 5.11.20 we’ve taken the decision to transfer all our in person Fit for Life classes to zoom for the next month. Starting Monday 9th November. We think this compliments our other online activities nicely.
Please do share this update with anyone you feel would benefit and if anyone is struggling to access our digital offers, we have a Digital Champion willing to help set people up.
Additionally for people digitally excluded we have a range of Activity Packs available.
If you would like book into a class or have any enquiries please email. Onlineactivities@ageukenfield.org.uk
