We had the pleasure of visiting the Chairfull Wellbeing Community Group today, and it was truly inspiring to see! The room was full of energy, with everyone actively getting involved and enjoying the wide range of activities on offer. 💙

From gentle chair exercises to fun, interactive games and wellbeing discussions, it was fantastic to witness how engaged and uplifted everyone was. It’s clear that this group is making a real difference, bringing people together, boosting wellbeing, and creating a strong sense of community. ✨

Sessions take place twice a month (every other Wednesday, 10:30am–1pm) at Stockland Green Methodist Church.

If you’re looking for a positive, supportive space to stay active and meet others, we highly recommend joining. It was amazing to see such a happy and vibrant group! 🌟

We recently visited Pilates and Pastries at the Midlands Greek Cypriot Association (Magnet Centre, Park Approach, Erdington,) and can say it’s a brilliant community group 💛🥐

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a friendly and supportive space where everyone encourages one another and builds genuine connections. It’s clear this group really cares and looks out for each other.

Enjoy engaging Pilates sessions that are suitable for all abilities and a great way to stay active and feel good.

There are delicious homemade cakes, brought in by members of the group and shared, making it even more special!

Sessions take place every Monday from 11:30am – 12:30pm

It’s more than just a session — it’s a place to meet people, feel supported, and boost your wellbeing.

If you’re thinking about trying something new, this is a wonderful group to join, come along and experience it for yourself! 🙌

Yesterday’s Care for Carers meet‑up at the Beautiful Eco Hub was a real success. The main hall was full of creativity, conversation and connection as carers enjoyed arts and crafts, wood‑plaque decorating, and relaxing massage therapy from Live Well.

Lunch from the local café topped off a brilliant session. Big applause to the Eco Hub team for supporting us with such a meaningful event and celebrating the incredible carers in our community.
