00:00 Hey, I'm Caroline with Active Families. I'm part of the Wellbeing Machine for South Tyneside.

00:16 We're providing easy, accessible exercise. We're here at South Marine Park all the way

00:21 through the summer from 1pm every Tuesday. We're creating a community and a safe space

00:26 for people to come and train. We're aiming at older adults. We do gentle exercises and

00:31 provide free tea and coffee and biscuits so you get to socialise, chat with your friends

00:35 and also exercise. You do it to your ability so you can sit down or you can stand up. We

00:41 use things like pom-poms, resistance bands or just your body. We want our class to be

00:46 as accessible as possible for everyone. It's a great day out meeting new friends and prevent

00:52 isolation. Nobody needs to stay at home in this lovely sunshine. For more information
