information SERVICE DETAILS

This group runs fortnightly at NKS on Tuesdays from 11:00am to 1:00pm.

This friendly group if for older men and offers advice and support on living with long-term health conditions. Social activities; health workshops and mental health support is all part of this welcoming group.

Men's Long Term Health Conditions Support Group (LTHCS) Project

As Covid-19 restrictions were relaxed, we were able to provide proper support to the LTHCs Men's Support Group. We were able to bring the older men safely back to NKS premises, where these sessions were enjoyed the most. We have also had to hold some online sessions because three group members are house bound and it is important to keep them connected with the local community, friends and continued use of technology.

Digital support is still ongoing.

After consulting the group, the following sessions were organised:

- Dementia Awareness
- Robert Burns Day celebration
- Grandparents Oral Health Group
- Climate Challenge Focus Group
- Stress Management
- New Covid-19 Variant and Healthy Eating

For further information on how to join this group, please get in touch.
