🧘‍♂️ As GOGA draws to a close at the end of this week, we wanted to take this time to recognise the amazing communities that have been built at our sessions over the past few years.

📈 Over 2,600 people have attended our sessions! Many of whom were attending an exercise class for the first time. To all of you who have engaged with GOGA, thank you!

🎉 It has been great to see these communities develop and flourish, and we are excited to see many of them continue beyond GOGA, ensuring the legacy of the program.

🤩 THANK YOU TO ALL OUR LOVELY PARTICIPANTS FROM IONA 🤩

I have now left the GOGA programme which I have led since June 2022, having joined the Improvement Team at Ninewells Hospital and I aim to continue supporting improvement and driving forward positive change within healthcare.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and have met so many lovely people along the way. I consider it a privilege to have been involved in such an innovative, responsive and person-centred health improvement initiative that has resulted in so many positive outcomes, not least in terms of increasing levels of physical activity and creating pathways for patients to sustaining physical activity upon discharge. The GOGA Team has been unafraid to trial new activities in new venues and the lessons learned have effected tangible change. The programme has ultimately promoted a range of health & wellbeing benefits linked with physical activity, alongside fostering a strong sense of community and social connectedness.

It is incredibly disappointing that the programme is ending soon but I very much hope that much of the good work will continue, either through classes independently led by our instructors, in collaboration with local leisure providers & community groups, and by YOU, hopefully now having gained increased confidence in your ability to sustain physical activity in a way that works for you!

Please do continue to enjoy the GOGA classes, led by our wonderful instructors! If you have any programme-related enquiries, please email Craig at tay.goga@nhs.scot.

Thank you for participating and I wish you all the very best for the future.

We want to take a moment to CONGRATULATE our wonderful coach Ruby for the success of the Roll with GOGA classes over the past few years, in both Dundee and Angus. The final block of classes hosted by GOGA Tayside ended at the weekend, with 49 happy participants graduating from their learn to skate or progression class.

Since January 2023, 181 child and adult participants (500+ cumulatively!) have benefitted from Roll with GOGA through learning new skills, gaining confidence, making new friends and being active. Overall, these classes are an excellent example of how much fun can be had through physical activity, where the exercise is almost incidental to all the other positive outcomes.

The great news is that Ruby will be coaching more blocks of skating classes locally, with Leisure & Culture Dundee leading the delivery moving forward. Watch out more details!

We are extremely proud of the success of these classes, particularly how they have demonstrated the inclusive nature of physical activity, bringing those of all ages and abilities together. Thank you once again to Ruby and to all our participants!!!
