Me and my partner have been coming to stay & Play with our 2 year old son who loves our activities which has help to improve his overall   mobility and development, he now engages with other children and he really loves the age appropriate activities provided by the stay & play staff.

Vanessa lives in Haringay and was introduced to the lunch time club by a friend. She has also attended the Slimming activity here, which she found really useful in helping her lose weight.

“Coming to this these activities has helped me a lot and has been great for my health and wellbeing. I come out of the house and meet other people, which makes me happy. The exercise make me feel fitter and healthier.”

“I live on my own and I look forward to coming here. By coming here, I am able to socialise and I am also doing Zumba, which I am really enjoying. It is rigorous exercise which has helped me lose weight”.

“The lunch time club gets me out of the house and socialising. I get to meet other people, enjoy the Zumba classes and have a nice lunch.”

Ms AM likes the idea of various activities that take place with the lunch club.” We have health and wellbeing talks, food, poetry, dancing, every few weeks and everyone takes part. All these helps me get out of the house. Without all these place or activities, I will be at home sitting like a couch potato and watch TV.” She has arthritis on both her knees which can be really painful. “Getting out of the house and taking part in these activities at the club helps with my arthritis because it means I exercise walking here from home and doing Zumba. This helps me mentally too. I no longer feel depressed.”

Hanna has been coming to the lunch time club for over 3 years, from its former location in Hanley. “After retiring I needed to do something to keep me busy so I joined Zumba as part of my exercise and to keep me mentally fit.” She also does pilate at the Old Fire Station as well as gentle exercises.  Coming to the Zumba classes and the lunch time club has helped Hanna a lot and she is now able to socialise more. “I have more energy and have made a lot of friends.”

Heather has been coming to the lunch time club for the past 8 years. “I came here to meet people and things to do. I used to come to the slimming world and now come to the lunch club.  I enjoy coming here and interacting with other women.” She is now more active and does various activities as a result of the confidence she has now got. “I feel healthier and fitter. I meet new people and socialising. I attend the lunch time club here now and also go to Hornsey Lane. I also come here to use the computers”
