Meet Lisa, Michelle, Sarah, Norman and Annmarie - our new Livewell volunteers who have all lost weight and improved their fitness with Livewell.
They are part of Livewell's new volunteer programme which supports existing and former clients to give something back to the service and their community.
The volunteers will work with the Livewell team through a variety of roles where they will share their experiences to help inspire and motivate new clients joining the service. Look out for them at Activation meetings, drop ins, Lose Weight Feel Great sessions and at exercise classes.
Paul McGinty, Livewell Coordinator is leading the scheme and said: “People that have been through the Livewell programme themselves have first-hand experience of the challenges that come with trying to improve your health, fitness and lifestyle. They are in an excellent position to help guide new clients through similar challenges. Volunteering is a great way to develop new skills, meet new people and get some valuable experience.”
