St Clements Court launches Wellbeing Wednesdays

Vicky Smallwood, Housekeeper and Voluntary Wellbeing Activities Coordinator at St Clements Court in Wigan has launched a new initiative for residents to enjoy.

Each Wednesday the new wellbeing sessions feature a range of different activities, from dance to relaxation and memory lane exercises. Speaking of the sessions Vicky said:

I absolutely love doing the sessions and each week more and more tenants pop into the 1 hour class.

Two residents who have been attending the Wellbeing Wednesday classes shared their experiences.

Brian said:

The Wellbeing Wednesday group is very interesting and gets me out of my flat. Since doing the sessions, I have learnt a lot about my own health and wellbeing, I walk more, eat better and feel part of a good social group. It’s a change for the better for me and I like the chat with neighbours and some new members lately have also come down to the group. I learn something new each week, quizzes, brain teasers and exercises. Vicky explains things really well and I find it interesting to learn more.

Through the sessions, Vicky is able to pass on new skills and techniques. Residents can drop in to learn more about mindfulness, self-care and breathing exercises and can even make new friends along the way.
