Our classes and gym programmes are based around the Otago strength and balance exercises developed in New Zealand. These exercises have been proven in clinical and community settings to improve strength and balance, and help reduce the risk of falls.

Our Otago walk and class runs every Wednesday in Grangemouth, incorporating a 30 minute walk followed by an Otago class. The walk is optional.

This class is very popular and we recommend contacting us beforehand to ensure your space. Classes are available throughout the area.

BorrowMyDoggy connects dog owners with trusted, local people who would love to look after a dog. They make it easy to arrange walks, playtime, overnight stays or holidays.

Their aim is to help dog owners when they need it, give dogs more exercise and playtime and allow people without a dog to spend quality time with one. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Through the schools, early years and childcare services they support not only disabled children at crucial times in their life but their families and carers.
