Nominator Caroline Cooke, director, says that once lock down started Amanda realised that there would be great need for regular contact as well as mental and physical stimulation for both their Householders and their Sharers. Never before had they spent 24 hours together. Amanda contacted a personal trainer to see if Share and Care Homeshare could offer and finance a weekly Armchair Exercise class online, as a get together and to ensure everyone was coping each week. The Householders and Sharers all worked together to get laptops and tablets available to link into these classes. There has been much enthusiasm for the classes and attendance has been building every week since. Progress made has been wonderful. Amanda has now set up a Just Giving page to raise funds to buy additional tablets and offer a range of activities online to enable more people in the community to join in.
