Our Living Well services are open to anyone over the age of 18 who has a life-limiting or terminal illness (please see the FAQs for more information and eligibility).

We understand how difficult, overwhelming and lonely being diagnosed can sometimes be and want to support you to be living well every day, while recognising and managing the challenges you may face. Living Well has been designed to help you to get moving, enjoy new activities and socialise, all in a supportive safe environment. Download the full Living Well programme to see full range of sessions on offer and more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

A life-limiting illness is any illness or condition which:

  • cannot be cured and
  • is likely to lead to someone’s death.

You might hear other terms like ‘terminal’ illness or diagnosis, which means the same thing.

Anyone can be diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, and we accept any aged person over 18 to come to Living Well.

There’s lots of examples of life-limiting illnesses, including:

  • frailty
  • advanced cancer
  • dementia (including Alzheimer’s)
  • kidney failure
  • lung disease
  • neurological diseases, like Parkinson’s
  • advanced heart disease.

This is not an exhaustive list and you might have another life-limiting illness not listed. If you’re not sure if you have a life-limiting illness, please fill in the form and we’ll get back to you to discuss.

Frailty is a distinctive health condition related to ageing, describing a general decline in function and reserve across multiple body systems. People with frailty may struggle with independent living, find everyday tasks more difficult, and experience a gradual reduction in social interactions.

We have received special funding to trial a new programme for anyone in the catchment area with frailty. Each session of the six-week course will focus on an aspect of frailty: fatigue; exercise; nutrition; emotional health; planning ahead and financial support. You’ll be provided with top tips and ideas on living with frailty and after the six-week programme, there’s the option to dip in and out of the Living Well service.

You can sign up to any Living Well session if you are:

  • Over the age of 18
  • Live in our catchment area (Worthing, Adur, Arun and Henfield)
  • Have a life-limiting illness (see the definition above)
