Suggest a one line invite to IT Workshop

I am hoping this will be a start to design a card to invite carers to register with Hackney!

What would you put on a card, to give to people you meet that YOU meet who are Carers, to encourage them to come to the workshop?

Example:

I would like to invite you,to come to the IT workshop, where I learn about how to use computers and phones myself.

On the Back would be:

Wednesday morning 10-1pm

54% of people aged over 65 are classed as ‘inactive'

Maintaining an active lifestyle is vital to both living and ageing well. While taking part in any amount of physical activity, at any stage in life, can have a powerful positive impact on an individual’s health - amongst older people, it is key to maintaining a healthy, independent life for longer, and it is crucial in preventing the onset of many lifestyle- and age-related long-term health conditions.
