 t St Mary's\nWe are delighted to announce that St Mary’s Church\, Platt 
 will be hosting weekly Love to Move sessions starting Tuesday 3rd June\, 1
 1:00 am – 12:00 pm in the Garden Room\, and continuing every Tuesday the
 reafter. (Tonbridge and Malling Council has funded the first 8 sessions th
 rough their 50th Anniversary Community Grant Scheme so these sessions will
  be free. After that the PCC will explore how to take things forward with 
 the great hope of being able to continue the sessions.)\nLove to Move\, de
 veloped by the British Gymnastics Foundation\, is a nationally acclaimed p
 rogramme that’s more than just exercise—it's a scientifically designed
  seated movement programme tailored to benefit the physical\, emotional\, 
 and cognitive health of older adults\, including those living with mild to
  advanced forms of dementia.\nWhat makes Love to Move unique is its focus 
 on increasing cognitive reserve—your brain’s ability to adapt\, reorga
 nise and find new ways of completing tasks as we age. This is achieved thr
 ough a series of carefully choreographed seated exercises\, set to music\,
  that promote bilateral coordination—movements using both sides of the b
 ody simultaneously. These exercises aren’t just about keeping fit\; they
 ’re about keeping minds sharp.\nExtensive research\, including studies b
 y Age UK\, has shown that even one session a week can make a significant d
 ifference\, with some participants showing improvements after just one or 
 two classes. These benefits include enhanced memory\, mood\, and coordinat
 ion\, and for those living with dementia\, the programme can slow the prog
 ression of symptoms\, greatly improving quality of life.\nThe role of musi
 c in the programme cannot be overstated. Music has the power to stimulate 
 memory and emotion\, unlock forgotten memories\, and enhance mood\, helpin
 g to create a joyful\, supportive environment for everyone involved.\nImpo
 rtantly\, Love to Move is not your typical exercise class. Each movement s
 erves a purpose\, targeting different areas of the brain and body\, all wh
 ile participants remain comfortably seated. The sessions are inclusive\, w
 elcoming\, and adapted to suit a wide range of abilities.\nBacked by gover
 nment funding and spreading rapidly across the UK\, this is your chance to
  be part of something proven\, powerful\, and profoundly positive—right 
 here in your community.\nCome Along!\nWhether you’re looking to support 
 your own wellbeing or that of a loved one\, Love to Move offers a warm\, w
 elcoming space to reconnect\, move\, and thrive. No previous experience ne
 eded—just come as you are!
