About Us
Active Mindsteps was established in 2024 in recognition of the growing need for people to maintain their health and independence as they age.
The group has been inspired and assisted by the Austrian organisation, SelbA, which has successfully run activities for over 55s for more than 30 years. In that time over 40,000 people have participated, with university research demonstrating the benefits.
Although not formally affiliated with SelbA, Active Mindsteps has been given access to SelbA’s extensive collection of cognitive and motor skills activities to use in its own programs.
Our Program
Each program involves groups of between 8 and 15 participants, who meet weekly for a 90-minute session - usually over a 10 week period.
Participants will pay a nominal amount to cover materials and other essentials. Each group will be led by a trained Group Leader who will facilitate a number of engaging activities with a focus on developing cognitive and motor skills in a friendly and supportive environment.
