21 Day Walking Challenge
21 Day Walking Challenge was designed to help older adults to get out walking and to take note of the amount of minutes/steps they walked per day. It was designed to motivate people to get out walking but to also educate people on the amount of steps or minute they are exercising per day to help encourage people to do the minimum daily exercise or more.

Activator Pole Programme
Laois Sports Partnership deliver an activator pole (Nordic walking sticks) programme to older people in the county. Implementation of level 5 restrictions meant this had to go online. Participants don’t own their own poles and there was no practical way for Laois Sports Partnership to loan their poles out. So the Laois Age Friendly Programme purchased 50 pairs to be given to older people interested in the programme.
