When Joseph first joined Move To Include at SASP, he felt nervous about coming to the gym. Since then, he has grown in confidence, discovered that he enjoys using the treadmill, and made new connections with people he now speaks to regularly at the gym.

Joseph's story shows how the right support and opportunities can help people build confidence, develop healthy habits, and feel part of their community.
