K2 Crawley has hosted a day of exercise classes and social activities as part of Dementia Awareness Week
Freedom Leisure, along with Alzheimer’s Society, Age UK and Crawley Borough Council, hosted a range of activities for Living Well Day these included tai chi, table tennis, ballroom dancing and tandem bike rides.

As well as promoting ‘Living Well’ in over 50s, K2 Crawley launched its Dementia Friendly Swimming Project, with the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) and the Department of Health Innovation, Excellence and Strategic Development Fund.

The project means that staff at K2 Crawley will be specially trained and facilities around the leisure centre will be changed to create the right setting to enhance the swimming experience for people with dementia and their carers.
