We’re proud to have featured in the recent white paper From Inactivity to Independence: Measuring the Impact of Movement in Adult Social Care, produced in collaboration with Care England, Lincoln Healthcare Partnership Primary Care Network and Be Great Fitness.
The report highlights something we’ve believed for a long time — decline should not automatically be accepted as part of ageing.
Through structured, personalised movement programmes, older adults living with frailty, dementia, falls risk and long-term conditions showed measurable improvements in mobility, confidence, mood, social engagement and independence.
One of the most inspiring stories featured in the report was Janet’s.
After a prolonged hospital stay following a fractured femur, Janet arrived at her care home highly dependent on staff support and spending much of her day in bed. Through regular structured movement sessions, Janet improved her strength, balance, confidence and day-to-day independence — progressing to group activities, shopping trips and greater participation in everyday life.
Her story is a powerful reminder that movement is not just exercise — it is dignity, confidence, connection and quality of life.
The white paper also reinforces the importance of non-pharmacological interventions and movement-led reablement in reducing falls, improving wellbeing and supporting healthier ageing across social care.
A huge congratulations to Bailey Greetham-Clark and everyone involved in this important work.
