Do you want a friendly, relaxed online environment to discuss a fiction book?  Look no further – at each meeting we discuss a chosen novel; what we like, do not like and choose the next novel we will read. The meeting will last about an hour but feel free to drop in for as long as you can, there is no obligation to come to every meeting or read every chosen book.  Also, please use the Teams chat to suggest books we can read.  We have listed some helpful links below where you may be able to source copies of the books.

(Un)spoken word is the name given to a set of poetry events the Trust held in 2021 and 2022, and the first published volume of poetry, launched on World Poetry Day 2023 (21 March). These poems are important because they help discuss mental health, wellbeing and acknowledging that life can sometimes be difficult and these difficulties remain unspoken.

When we think about the word balance, we often think of splitting our time equally, but this isn’t necessarily the case. Balance can mean leaning into work more when you’ve got a busy week and then making space to recover after.

These kinds of aches and pains can make us more uncomfortable and less productive. People in the UK take a massive 28 million days off work a year because of muscle and bone problems.

The good news is, it doesn’t have to be this way. Try these stretches, specially designed for you to do at your desk or wherever you’re sitting with your computer, to help ease the strain.
