Why lap the lake?

Every day we work with older people  who feel isolated in their community and find it difficult to get out and about to local shops, doctors and community centres.

For seven years we have been working with people in South Yorkshire to make small changes that make a big difference.Installing a dropped kerb here, and a handrail or bench there, means that people like Janet have their independence back."The new dropped kerbs will make a big difference to me and a lot of other residents as we walk that route almost every day. These improvements have made the walk to the doctor’s surgery and the shops safer and more comfortable."Walking is really important to me as it means that I can maintain my independence. It makes me feel good that I can still do it."
