In this episode of Inspiring Movement, I’m joined by Brett Jenkins, Senior Wellness Manager at Anchor—the UK’s largest not-for-profit provider of housing and care for older people.

We explore what real wellbeing looks like in later life, from building a sense of purpose to embracing community and using tech to prevent falls.

Brett shares how Anchor supports over 65,000 residents with personalised wellness assessments, monthly goal-setting, and their innovative Be Well 360 service.

Whether you're supporting someone else or thinking about your own next chapter, there’s plenty to take away.

Dr Mark Porter joins James to kick off Series 2 of the Inspiring Movement podcast.

With nearly 40 years in the NHS and a long career in medical broadcasting, Mark talks candidly about what’s really holding people back from staying well as they age.

They cover:

• Why we lose strength faster than we think
• What most people get wrong about exercise
• The dangers of doing nothing
• How to support people who aren’t motivated to move
• What GPs wish they had more time to help with
• Whether pills are the easy way out—and what to ask your doctor before taking them

Mark doesn’t hold back. Expect straight-talking, practical advice with plenty of takeaways.

Today, I am joined by Tom Cledwyn, the Managing Director of Infectious Generosity, a remarkable project and book by Chris Anderson, the founder of TED.

Tom has built a career around the concept of kindness and has been part of many incredible stories, witnessing countless acts of wonderful generosity along the way.

In this episode, we’ll delve into Tom’s journey and explore how acts of kindness can transform lives and communities. It's not just about movement today; it's about inspiring kindness and making a difference in what is often a mean world. Get ready to be inspired and uplifted by Tom’s incredible story and insights.
