Graham and Edna Sinclair: Staying Active, Staying Connected
Meet Graham and Edna Sinclair
Graham and Edna Sinclair, a retired couple in their 80s, have always valued staying connected and involved in their community. However, like many older adults, they were mindful of the challenges that come with age. Years ago, they turned to Active Stirling for guidance on how to maintain their health and fitness, and their journey since then has been truly inspiring. Through expert advice and supportive classes led by Physical Activity and Inclusion Officer, Laura Taylor, Graham and Edna discovered the importance of staying active to maintain their health and vitality.
The Active Stirling Journey
Through the years, Graham and Edna have participated in a wide range of fitness classes, health walks and events hosted by Active Stirling, including weekly sessions in Killearn. Beyond these local activities, they’ve also supported projects at Stirling University and Edinburgh, organised by Active Stirling.
Their story reflects the value of consistent support and guidance of health and wellbeing. Their active lifestyle has enhanced their overall well-being and demonstrated how effective regular exercise can be in later life. The Sinclair’s credit Active Stirling’s dedicated team for not only offering practical advice and encouragement but also creating a welcoming environment that inspires long-term commitment to health and wellness. Even now, the couple attends weekly classes with enthusiasm and gratitude.
A Word of Thanks
Their story is a testament to the positive impact of staying active and connected, no matter your age.
