The Tai Chi movements and awareness of breathing helps to lift my mood, keeps me calm and improves coordination. I am enjoying meeting new people and learning movements I can practice at home.

Rachel

Since returning to swimming, I have felt that my physical and mental health has improved with the added bonus of a nice warm pool and a relaxing atmosphere also with an understanding Instructor that is receptive to my physical needs in the pool.

Ian

I like it because of the people I meet.

Gosha

Best day of the week with lovely friends and lovely activities. There’s always something to learn.

Angela

I’ve been coming for a long time and I really do enjoy it. It’s my two hours of the week.

Anne

Motivates me to get out the house and meet new friends, and enjoy making art

Bruce

Prior to the Chair Yoga group I was virtually housebound as I suffer from COPD and use oxygen 24 hours a day. The class has made such a difference to my life. I can honestly say that both my mental and physical health has greatly improved over the last 12 months. The group leaders and the class members are all very friendly… my COPD consultant has informed me that my lung function has increased 100%

Margaret

It was always a great afternoon chatting with Stuart. I find our friendship to be very rewarding. It was a pleasure to be in the company of his character and good humour. We both shared similar interests and managed to get out to watch his favourite football team play.

Michael

Thank you Ecas for supporting us to go on a holiday. The cottage has been great – wheelchair accessible with amazing views around.

The Dukan family

Eilidh loves her trike. Being out and about together with the rest of the family on theirs has made a huge difference and is fantastic exercise for her.

The Anderson family

Ecas has given me confidence, and the belief that I can achieve what I set out to do.

Bill

The Friday group is a very important part of the week. I meet friends, have fun and can be creative.

Lesley

The group is a lot of fun and full of talent. I enjoy playing different instruments, rediscovering songs from a long time ago and also new ones.

Christine

This group is a fantastic way to come together and talk about things: books, our lives, what’s important to us.

David

Tai chi helps relax me – the tension just melts away. It has helped me regain movement in my left arm.

Danny

The practising of relaxations and meditations helps to provide a sense of peace when there may be many things in our lives that are out of our control.

Verity

We feel confident now and realise we can do things we couldn’t do before, but we can do them now!

Barbara

(My befriender) brings the outside world in.
