Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 Peace on Purpose with Insight Timer
Peace on Purpose is a partnership between the United Nations Foundation and Lululemon which provides humanitarian and development workers with mindfulness tools designed to support their own well-being, so they can continue to care for others.
These simple and evidence-based practices equip people responding to the world’s biggest challenges, with resources to respond to adversity, uncertainty, and rapid change.
 TED Talks
There is a vast array of TED Talks to choose from, so we have not chosen one for you. Have a browse through to see what strikes your fancy, since each day your mood may take you down a different path. Topics range from The benefits of expressing your emotions to The life cycle of a sneaker (trainer).
 Take a virtual tour of London’s underground mail rail
In 2017, the Postal Museum opened with a major attraction - a 6.5 mile underground ‘Mail Rail’ tunnel - which was once used to transport postcards and parcels between Whitechapel, in Tower Hamlets, to Paddington, in Westminster. The route ran for 75 years until it was closed in 2003, so there was a lot of excitement when the ‘Mail Rail’ reopened as an attraction and now you can take a virtual tour.
 Twinings healthy afternoon tea
Afternoon teas have a long history in the UK and for good reason. They provide that perfect mix of great company, flavoursome food and delicious tea, all a great combination for catching-up with friends. Why not have a healthy afternoon tea as a family, or if you are on your own, organise an afternoon tea over a video call.
 Coronavirus impact survey
Tower Hamlets council has launched a survey to help better understand the impact that Coronavirus has had on its residents.
This will help them to better plan their services, respond to the specific issues faced by communities and provide support on the road ahead.
The survey closes on Wednesday 17 June.
