The importance of maintaining an active mind and body is well understood. It helps boost our immune system and protects against cognitive decline, meaning we live healthier lives, both mentally and physically.

St John’s Good Living Service offers our almshouse residents, and all residents of Bath and North East Somerset aged 55 and over, a vibrant programme of activities and events designed to support wellbeing and independent living, whilst creating a thriving community of mature people.

Our dynamic programme, shaped in part by its participants, provides a wide range of different activities every day of the week. You can be a complete novice or an expert in the field, it really doesn’t matter. Come along and enjoy – both the activity and the company!

To book onto one of our classes please email the Good Living team at goodliving.enquiries@stjohnsbath.org.uk or call 01225 486401.
