About us

The overall aim of Active Sandwell is to improve the quality of life for older people in Sandwell through a more active lifestyle. This will be achieved by establishing a community based multi-intervention physical activity programme. We are part of Agewell and work in partnership with Sandwell PCT, Sandwell Leisure Trust, Sport England and various community organisations, the long term vision of the programme is to develop a healthy and more active older population in Sandwell.

What we do

Active Sandwell targets those hard to reach groups who do not normally take part in physical activity or sport. These are:

• Older people 60+ and frail elderly
• Elders from Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities
• Older people from the Irish community
• Older disabled people
