Come on Board – Activities for the over 50's

Come on Board offers FREE activities, and FREE transport to and from the activities, across the city of Bristol for anyone over 50 years of age

Ever wondered what Qi Gong actually is? Is it true that riding a bike is just like riding a bike, or perhaps you want to enjoy the freedom of two wheels for the very first time? Perhaps a gentle boat trip around Bristol Harbour whilst reminiscing is just your cup of tea?

Whatever it is that gets you moving, Come on Board has a fantastic variety of activities on offer. Whether you fancy the relaxed and laid back, from community gardening to historical harbourside guided walks, or you’re after something more energetic and active, with chair based Zumba to kayaking or gig rowing, we have the perfect pace and style of activity for you. Whether it is in the comfort of the gym, with fitness or strength & conditioning classes on offer, or out and about in the fresh air on land, with walking cricket, or water, with powerboat trips or sailing sessions.

All activities are held in small groups, of between 6 and 10 people, and we have a huge amount to offer those with access needs. With all sessions completely FREE of charge, and with FREE transport offered both to and from any activity, there really are no excuses… so Come on Board!

“The powerboat trip was excellent. It was fun, I found myself smiling as well learning about things along the route. It’s something I would not usually have the opportunity to do. I have several chronic health conditions, which wasn’t a problem, I felt safe and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Thank you.”

Come on Board has so much to offer, fourteen different activities involving nine fantastic organisations, all completely FREE! If you’re over 50 and living in the beautiful city of Bristol make sure you get involved! And make sure to spread the word, especially to people who you feel would benefit from these sessions, we strongly believe that the activities we offer not only improve health and wellbeing, lowering the risk of physical and mental illness and disease, but also directly tackle the deeper issues of social isolation and loneliness.
