🌳🧘‍♀️ Only a few weeks left of the Park Yoga season 🥲

Come along this Sunday at 9:30am in Newton Park and soak up the benefits of moving in nature while starting your Sunday with a wonderful community. 🥰

🧘‍♂️ You don’t need to be flexible
🧘‍♀️ You don’t need fancy yoga clothes
🧘🏽 You don’t need any experience

Just bring yourself, a mat or towel, and a willingness to spend an hour outdoors moving (or resting whenever you need to), breathing slowly, and relaxing.

💚 Park Yoga is free, friendly, and open to everyone

Come and see why so many people have made Park Yoga part of their Sunday morning. 💚

💡You Don't Know What You Don't Know!

We continue our weekly series of posts with our friends from Ayrshire Independent Living Network - AILN.

Today we're highlighting an important aspect that can sometimes be overlooked or misunderstood - payroll responsibilities.

If you employ your own Personal Assistant through Self-directed Support, you're technically an employer - which comes with payslips, tax, pension contributions and all the admin that nobody warns you about.

AILN's dedicated payroll service handles that side of things, so managing your own support doesn't turn into a second job in paperwork.

Getting on the property ladder and your first home can often feel daunting and out of reach.

Affordability checks can help you see if this is something you can afford or not - now or in the longer term

Taking a longer borrowing term can allow flexibility and repaying early when incomes increase

Mortgage terms of 30-40 years have become commonplace for younger borrowers, according to Sprive.

Yet if you are able to, one way you could reduce your mortgage term is by overpaying when you can.

Even a regular monthly overpayment of £20, £50 or £100 can substantially reduce the interest you pay and help clear your mortgage sooner!

But it doesn't work for everyone... ⬇️
