At Golf in Society, we aim to transform lives of our ageing population by introducing them to the game of golf. Across our 25 UK wide venues, we are making a difference in local communities by providing tailored golf session for those with chronic illnesses such as Dementia, Parkinson's and more. Here's how:
• Absolutely no experience of golf required to participate!
• Small groups with tailored activities based upon the game of golf such as putting, pitching. No 18-hole rounds!
• Participants with long term health and age-related health conditions including dementia, stroke, Parkinson’s, frailty, mental health and loneliness.
• Respite for the carers of our participants - a couple of hours to themselves while their loved one is being cared for and enjoying themselves.
Other key information
• Research backed evidence from Sheffield Hallam in collaboration with Golf In Society that demonstrated that playing Golf is good for your mental, physical and social wellbeing
• No waiting list and a free taster session!
• We can help arrange community transport too, at a low cost.
• Easy to refer – just send us an email (info@golfinsociety.com) All we need is the person’s name, number and condition / limitations. No long forms to complete!
• Fully insured and CBS checked.
• £5 per hour for the participant, carers are free after the taster session.
• Our medium-term vision is to look after the person holistically in a non-clinical, natural and relaxed setting and have professionals like Occupational Therapists, physiotherapists and mental health workers, students and golf activators / professionals support independent living at our sessions.
