Say Go Scheme
Say Go! builds on the programme of activities established by Age Concern’s Ageing Well programme (external link) and also Barnet’s Health Walks. Throughout 2010 Say Go! will be adding more activities and would like to hear from you about what you would like to do. Perhaps you would like to join a cycling group for the over 55s or play table tennis? Let us know your ideas.
The scheme is funded by Sport England, London Borough of Barnet and Age Concern Barnet, and is run in partnership with community groups and other local organisations.
