Barnsley Older People Physical Activity Alliance - BOPPAA

Funded by Barnsley Council and led by Age UK Barnsley, the Barnsley Older People Physical Activity Alliance* is an alliance of NHS, private and third sector (non-profit) organisations offering physical activity opportunities for over 50s in Barnsley.  The Alliance aims to increase provision of physical activity programmes that will improve strength and balance of older people (50+) across Barnsley.

The Covid-19 pandemic has contributed towards the decline of older people’s physical and mental wellbeing. The alliance will work to counter this by offering exercise classes that have a focus on social interaction and community engagement and in many cases initial classes will be free!

If you’d like to know what’s available in your part of Barnsley or you’re a provider who’s interested in being part of the Alliance call Age UK Barnsley on 01226 776820 or email Age UK Barnsley at: enquiries@ageukbarnsley.org.uk.

*The Barnsley Older People Physical Activity Alliance is an alliance of independent activity providers each responsible for the delivery of their own activities/services.
