Moving Stories

A free 8-week creative health programme for older South Asian residents combining storytelling, music and accessible movement inspired by South Asian traditions.

Age UK Wandsworth delivers this Wandsworth London Borough of Culture project with Happy Homes Community and Wandsworth Asian Women’s Association, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Participants share life stories through conversation, music, photographs and personal objects, then work with a movement facilitator to translate those memories into accessible movement drawing on Bollywood, folk and classical South Asian forms. No dance experience is needed and all movement can be adapted for seated or standing participation. Sessions run fortnightly on Tuesday mornings and are open to older South Asian residents aged 18 and over.
