Our Focus Areas

Love to Move Background: • Original programme created by Professor Araki Tatsuo • “Shinagawa exercises” • Physical as well as cognitive benefits • Fully State Funded across Japan • Japanese & South Korean Academic Research

Bilateral Asymmetry and its benefits: Almost every part of the Love to Move programme is based on bilaterally asymmetrical movement patterns. • What is bilateral asymmetry? • Why is it in our programme? • Why is it important?

Love to Move Research: “The Programme has a demonstrable benefit in the physical, emotional and cognitive aspects of older people and those older people having mild to advanced forms of dementia appear to benefit the most.” Vinal K. Karania Research Manager (Evaluation & Impact) Age UK, June 2016

Economic benefits The estimation below works on the assumption that the project is able to delay 2 people from needing a medium level care package ( 3 to 4 calls, 10.5 – 14 hrs per week) at a cost of £232.26 per week/ per person: • £464.72 per week top end of medium home care band cost for 2 people x 52 weeks = £ 24,164 The project also has the potential to stop carer’s breakdown and therefore could have an impact on respite care costs. The estimation below works on the assumption that the project is able to stop 2 cases of carer breakdown and therefore mitigate the need for two weeks of respite care • £1, 016 total cost for two weeks of respite care x 2 people = £2,032 Therefore the project has the potential to avoid the cost outlined below to Cambridgeshire County Council each year: • £24,164 delayed home care costs + £2,032 avoided respite costs = £26,196 (Cost data source: Cambridgeshire Insights, 2017)

Love to Move model • Robust and high quality training • Licence included in cost of training (c. £300 per learner) • External workforce, supported by Love to Move delivery team • BGF focus on quality control of Love to Move delivery. • Local business model
