During Loneliness Awareness Week 2026, Shirley Moss spoke about her and her husband’s experience attending the Trust’s weekly Senior Spireites chair-based exercise sessions at the SMH Group Stadium.
Shirley commented: “We were introduced to this group by some friends. My husband has had a stroke, so we are limited to where we can go, and it is ideal to come here.
“It’s so easy to get to, the people are so friendly, and we do chair exercises, which is good for my husband and me because he won’t do them on his own, but he’ll do them in a group, and I think it’s brilliant.
“Until we came here, I wasn’t getting out at all with my husband, but we’re managing to get out a bit more now, and we’re limited to where we can go, as I’ve said before, and this is ideal.”
