Celebrating five years of Be Well
Five years ago, during the global pandemic, the Be Well programme was born from a simple yet powerful idea to provide mental and physical wellbeing of our residents. What started as a series of virtual coffee mornings has blossomed into a thriving community. As we celebrate this milestone, we're filled with gratitude for the journey we've shared.
Our virtual coffee mornings, which began in October 2020, have become a cornerstone of the Be Well programme. With over 1,339 interactions, these Tuesday morning gatherings at 11am are a testament to the power of connection. They've provided a space for residents to share stories, offer support, and simply enjoy a cup of coffee with a friendly face, all from the comfort of their homes.
As the Be Well programme evolved, we were incredibly fortunate to partner with Mr Terry Keen, an Anchor resident and a former professional fitness instructor. Terry's passion and expertise were instrumental in developing our exercise programme. He not only created engaging workout routines but also dedicated his time to producing a series of instructional videos, which are now available on our YouTube and video channels. Terry's commitment to our residents' physical well-being has been a true inspiration.
