Helping you to keep learning
 Five Ways to Wellbeing is now underway. Across five weeks, it highlights five simple steps you can take to feel better as we head into the winter months.
There are events, offers and activities each week, including free Lampton Leisure passes and the chance to win up to £50 of Amazon vouchers in the photography competition.
The theme for next week (10-16 November) is Keep Learning. Learning new skills can boost self-esteem, help build a sense of purpose, and help us connect with others.
Check the Five Ways to Wellbeing webpage for a list of great local organisations that offering free or low cost learning opportunities.
