This has taken over from Liveability. The role is exactly the same, helping get over 50's into a healthier, fitter lifestyle along with promoting general health and wellbeing. Nurturing the social side so people don't feel so lonely. The branding has yet to be agreed but we are hoping the group will be called 4everactive

Prescot Street, Liverpool

I go onto the wards and talk to people who are about to become amputees, people who have just become amputees and people who are amputees and not coping too well. I share my positive experiences and hopefully show them that there is a life after becoming an amputee and a very good one if they so choose.I also go onto the heart wards and try and give the same positive message. Being a heart patient does not mean the end of an active life, quite the opposite in fact

Liverpool, United Kingdom

I helped set this organisation up and to ensure Amputees and their Carers had a place to meet and help each other. I became an Amputee Boxing Day 1998. There was little support after leaving hospital. It took four years of 'nagging' before a meeting of new Amputees and their Carers took place hence ACSIL. I took all secretarial duties but most of all. Met some amazing people who refused to give in and enjoy life to the full. I have since stood down as secretary but still remain the existing member of the original group. My main function now is to speak to people who are about to become an amputee. Who are post amputee. Amputees who aren't coping very well. I do this as a volunteer in the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital Trust

Austin Rawlinson Baths, Speke

I help with the daily running of the classes in the gym. I encourage new and old members to try and lead a healthier more active life which in turn will keep them away from the Doctors surgery and hospital. I also encourage them to go swimming.Doing these activities has allowed me to be voted 'Volunteer of the Year 2015'
