Activities for older people

Keeping active as you age is a great way to keep your body in shape, make yourself feel good, and meet new people. Derby has activities for those who love getting out and about, those who are new to exercise, and those who want to have fun.

Discover everything Derby has to offer at Derby Active or check out some of these selected activities.

Forever Active

Forever Active is a programme supporting active ageing, focusing on gentle exercise to boost strength and stability, reduce the risk of falls, and make activity part of your everyday life.

You’ll be supported to find social activities tailored to your needs and interests. Whether you want to try adapted sports like Walking Football or low impact classes such as chair-based exercise, there’s something for everyone regardless of confidence or ability.
