Wigan Council's virtual bike rides
The Care to Move initiative is helping thousands of people living in care homes to take part in fun and sustainable physical activity directly indoors.
This is the story of how Wigan Council and Inspiring healthy lifestyles have introduced virtual bike rides to keep older people healthy in care homes.
Funded by Wigan Council, and facilitated by Inspiring healthy lifestyles, the virtual bike rides were piloted at 16 care homes before being offered to all 52 care homes in the borough.
Wigan is one of more than 40 communities working towards becoming age-friendly.
