Encouraging efforts to support upright citizens appreciated

Her aim is to assist participants to do simple exercises, seated in a chair, standing and walking, which provides them with improved balance, spatial awareness, flexibility and leg strength.

This year’s programme has come to an end, which was marked with a festive lunch at the Alexandra District Club yesterday. It will return in February 2020.
