health &
wellbeing
Never before has there been such a focus on health and wellbeing
We’ve all had to adapt physically and mentally in response to Covid-19.
On the positive side:
We’ve been walking and cycling more, we’ve become more environmentally aware and we’ve enjoyed cleaner air. We’ve discovered places on our doorstep that we never knew existed. We’ve learnt new skills and found ways to get more active at home and lots of people have really enjoyed the new flexible ways of working which fit so well with personal life.
We’ve realised the importance of keeping in touch with family and friends and of the social networks and groups that connect us. Many of us have experienced the satisfaction of volunteering and helping others in need.
Let’s build on this and take every opportunity to put our own and other people’s health and wellbeing at the heart of what we do.

How can I help to promote Health & Wellbeing

Recognise when others

Get involved
