"HARP Class (East-Ayrshire)"

Suffering from a variety of health conditions, I was referred to the above programme which offers exercise classes and advice to people in my position. Level of activity is based on each individual's ability following an assessment of their condition.

As a result, I have seen an increase in my daily activities, a reduction in weight and a better quality of life. Most importantly, the advice and encouragement I received during my ten weeks with the team has given me the confidence to retake control of my life and to continue to make changes that will improve my situation.

Special thanks to the staff and volunteers who made my experience of HARP so positive. Their enthusiasm, encouragement and a healthy sense of humour make this class such a success and I would encourage everyone to take advantage of this programme.
