OOMPHOomph! (‘Our Organisation Makes People Happy!’) design and run fun, interactive, group exercise classes within care homes and in the community. Its specialist exercises are based on expert methodology, and use reminiscent music and simple routines to deliver physical and mental health benefits. Oomph was started by Ben Allen in 2011. After studying health fitness, Ben started to apply what he had learned to engage with older people in care homes: “I founded Oomph! because we desperately need to improve the quality of life of our older adults and care home residents up and down the country today – not tomorrow. I have visited more than a thousand care homes and met so many older adults in our communities and the reality is we are letting our older generation down. They deserve so much better from us all.”
