Movers & Shakers in Buckinghamshire: an action research pilot project involving Asian and Caribbean communities

Abstract

Movers & Shakers (M&S) is a project initiative relating to healthy ageing for older adults in Buckinghamshire. This early intervention well‐being programme aims to engage the mind, body and soul of participants by encouraging participation in physical, mental and creative activities and healthy eating initiatives. The Movers & Shakers programme can be adapted to create an individual ‘style’ to suit the specific needs of different communities. This article details how the Movers & Shakers programme has been adapted for use with Asian and Caribbean communities, combining the elements of the programme to create an environment of social inclusion for older people.
