I have already posted a number of activities that are suitable for whole families  to support our Health and Wellbeing. But how do we know what works well ?

There are 5 ways identified by the NHS to support our Wellbeing, and below is a short cartoon (filmed before Lockdown!) to explain.

Above are 5 minute H and WB  activities for when you are stuck  indoors during this time!

I would love to say that I have a talent for cake decoration – as some of our staff do!  I really don’t !!

But I had fun icing these biscuits – and will have even more fun eating them!!

I am now going to learn a VE day dance

and then observe the 2 minutes silence at 11.00am!

I would love to know what you do to celebrate!
