Vibrant Health Advocates – Veritas brings together gentle group exercise, trusted health guidance and genuine community for Forfar's retired residents, so that growing older in Angus means growing stronger, not more isolated.
Weekly seated and standing exercise sessions designed for people aged 60 and over, adapting to individual ability and health conditions across accessible Forfar venues.
Every workshop and resource we produce is grounded in current NHS guidance — we cut through jargon, address common concerns honestly and signpost to the right services.
When older people in Forfar face barriers — accessing GP services, navigating social care — our advocates stand alongside them and ensure their voices are heard.
For retired people living in and around Forfar, staying well is about far more than a doctor's appointment once a year. It is about having somewhere to go on a Tuesday morning where the faces are familiar, the exercises are designed for your body, and the health information you receive is honest, evidence-based and explained in plain language.
Vibrant Health Advocates – Veritas was built on exactly that belief. We work at the heart of this Angus market town, running regular movement sessions, health literacy workshops and one-to-one advocacy support so that older residents can make informed decisions about their own wellbeing, stay physically active in ways that feel good, and remain fully part of the life of their community for as long as possible.
We are not a clinical service and we are not a drop-in centre: we are neighbours, volunteers and health advocates who happen to know that consistency, warmth and reliable information change lives.
