Let’s live life testimonials

It’s not an exaggeration to say that finding the ‘Lets Live Life’ programme has changed my life. After finishing work because of my ill health and being referred for physio, which, made me feel so down and useless. The physio staff tried their best, but it was soul destroying and I was grouped with people who didn't want to be there, had suffered strokes and brain tumours. I was grouped with anyone with neurological difficulties. I asked during one zoom physio session if there was anything local I could go to. They said ‘no, there is some seated exercise at Shadsworth in Blackburn.’ After that I gave up. I didn’t really leave the house.
A few months later I stumbled across your Facebook post, gave myself a talking to, and filled in a self referral form. When I first met you and the team, your positivity, kindness and can do attitude inspired me to try. I’ve never looked back. After a shaky start last August, I now come to Roefield every day. I’ve progressed from seated classes to yoga, dance, aerobics, gym and swimming. My mobility is improving; I haven’t fallen since last September, 3 months is a record for me. I’m normally black and blue. My confidence is also improved, meeting lots of lovely people who dont judge. Everyone is at different levels, and it doesn’t matter. Everyone’s effort is valued. Lastly the staff at Roefield are amazing. So kind, helpful, reassuring and nothing is too much trouble or a silly question.

Thankyou for all your work. ‘Let’s live life’ has given me purpose, and enabled me to live.
