Strategic Area 2 – Health and Wellbeing<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong> will contribute to the health and wellbeing <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Stirling</strong>’s older<br />
residents.<br />
Strategy 1 – Encourage and facilitate active fitness programmes<br />
Most people are well aware <strong>of</strong> the benefits <strong>of</strong> keeping fit and would like to do so. However they find<br />
it much easier if suitable programmes are available at venues that are easily accessible to them.<br />
For those who need some level <strong>of</strong> support, the Home and Community Care WATCH (Wellness<br />
Approach to Community Home Care) project supports programmes that help people to maintain or<br />
improve their fitness through keeping active within their own homes and maintaining or extending<br />
their connection with the community.<br />
