Golf for Healthy Ageing

** 社会中的高尔夫CIC正在推动一场快速发展的社会运动。**我们正在向我们的老龄化人口介绍高尔夫球的社会，健康和福祉的好处。患有健康问题的老年人享受适度的运动，发现新的目标感，享受美丽的户外活动并结识新朋友。我们的核心价值观是：尊严;尊重;同情;团结和受益者共同设计我们所有的服务。例如，每周的时间、持续时间和天数都是根据每个人的需要安排的，不需要事先有高尔夫经验。训练有素的高尔夫协调员（许多人都有与年龄相关的健康状况的生活经验）提供以人为本的课程，让我们的高尔夫球手感到特别。支持高尔夫课程，然后成为他们每周例行的一部分，令人兴奋的期待。这也让他们的照顾者有机会规划他们的生活，知道他们可以依靠我们定期喘息。此外，沿着我们鼓舞人心的高尔夫课程，我们正在推出更多的_照顾者福利活动_，专注于支持无薪照顾者。受益者的一些例子包括：“高尔夫是惊人的，团队是如此友好。就像另一个家庭，都对高尔夫有着同样的兴趣。”“这对我妻子有帮助，给了她自己的时间，一个很好的休息。我赢过几个奖杯。这一切都是为了让你感觉更好。只是一些照顾者的证词包括：“我不能让他到日间中心，但我不能阻止他来这里”“它让我在工作。我很不愿意让他去很多地方，但当他在这里时，我并不担心。”“最好的描述方式是，它使他轻快，他来到这里时容光焕发，它使他再次复活。“自2015年以来，我们面临着许多挑战。然而，通过我们的热情和关怀，我们一直在努力前进。因此，我们认为社会企业在应对健康老龄化方面发挥着至关重要的作用。随着我们从Covid 19中走出来，社会对高尔夫的需求比以往任何时候都要大。随着不活动、孤独、抑郁和心理健康状况不佳达到创纪录的水平，我们准备扩大规模，为更多老年人及其照顾者的生活带来更大的变化。

**Golf in Society CIC is driving a fast-growing social movement.**We are introducing the social, health and wellbeing benefits of golf to our ageing population.Older people with diagnosed health conditions enjoy moderate exercise, discover a renewed sense of purpose, enjoy the beautiful outdoors and meet new people. They discover how their local golf club can become an integral part of a happier, healthier life.Our core values are: Dignity; Respect; Compassion, and; Togetherness and beneficiaries co-design all of our services. For example, the times, duration and days of the week are arranged to suit each individual and no prior golfing experience is necessary.Trained golf coordinators (many with lived experience of an age-related health condition) deliver person-centred sessions, which make our golfers feel special. Supported golf sessions then become part of their weekly routine and something exciting to look forward to. This also gives their carers the chance to plan their lives, knowing they can rely on us for a regular respite break.In addition, along with our inspiring golf sessions, we are launching more _Carer Wellbeing Events_ that focus on supporting unpaid carers.Just some examples of what beneficiaries say include:"The golf is amazing and the group so friendly. It's like another family, all with the same interest in golf.""It helps my wife, it gives her time of her own, a good break. I've won a couple of trophies. It all has the purpose of making you feel better."Just some carer testimonials include:"I can't get him to a day centre, but I can't stop him coming here""It allows me to be at work. I'm very reluctant to let him go to a lot of places but am not worried when he is here.""The best way of describing it is that it makes him buoyant, he lights up when he comes here, it brings him to life again."Since 2015, we've faced many challenges. However, through our passion and care we have always managed to move forward. This is why we believe that social enterprises have a crucial role to play in tackling healthy ageing. As we emerge from Covid19, the demand for Golf in Society is greater than ever. With inactivity, loneliness, depression and poor mental health at record levels, we are ready to expand and make an even greater difference to the lives of more, older people, and their carers.
