It's Mental Health Awareness Week and our Nature and Wellbeing Officer, Vicky Aitkenhead explains the five steps to better health and wellbeing as outlined by The New Economics Foundation in 2008. Plus a bonus step from Kent Wildlife Trust!
This year's Mental Health Awareness Week focuses on nature and our environment. During lockdown, Vicky read two wonderful books that helped her make a better connection.
Taming rowdy kids (especially when school’s out) is tough work, so pull on the wellie boots and explore the picturesque Kent countryside on a family ramble. It’s fun, free, improves fitness - and is even more enjoyable when there’s the promise of good food at a family-friendly pub en route, says Zoe Rawlins
Following a generous grant from the Cobtree Charity Trust, children at St Peters C of E Primary School in Aylesford took part in a series of poetry workshops. Their poems have been used to create the Wonderful Wordicular Wildlife Walk between Tyland Barn and Cobtree Manor Park.
As a new year begins, it’s natural for us to start thinking about what we’ve achieved, and to consider our hopes for the coming months.
