The Beverley Stay on Your Feet community group was formed in May 2003 for the older people of Beverley to remain active and avoid falls. Since then the group has also attracted people from other age groups who require gentle exercise opportunities. The group is a vibrant community entity that meets weekly in the town hall and is led by four committed local people that are always looking for ways to make the activities more varied and engaging. After an hour of fun activity that includes a warm up, some stretches, aerobic exercises, elastic band work, some line dance steps and then a cool down that incorporates playing games with balls and balloons everyone gathers for a cuppa and a chat. The Beverley Stay on Your Feet community group currently has a membership of 45 with 30 people attending most weeks. Contact Lance Jarvis on 9690 1661 to find out how you can get involved.
