Brenda is an active 84 year old woman who lives in Croydon. She was told by her GP that she was ‘fat’ and that her weight was having a negative effect on her health. One of Brenda’s friends told her about ASKI and the different activities they offer and she got involved in chair-based dancing. ASKI also offered Brenda the opportunity to attend a poetry workshop and she recites a poem about her life that she wrote herself.
