Last two spaces up for grabs on this workshop led by Mid Wales Opera.
..and no, you don't need to be 'musical', having singing experience or know anything at all about Opera.

This is all about learning how you can use breath, body and voice to connect with your emotions and regulate your nervous system - excellent for promoting your wellbeing.

Please use the link below, scan the QR, or give us a call on 01874611529 to book.

I'm not saying Mental Elf fever has hit South Powys Mind.

But I'm not not saying it either.

A wonderful initiative!

Wintering Well provision available to collect from Y Gaer in Brecon.

NEWS: Powys libraries help residents to ‘winter well’ 💡

Powys residents can now borrow specially developed wellbeing resources from their local library as part of a new programme supporting people through the darker winter months.

Five Wintering Well loan boxes are available through Powys libraries. They are based at:

• Y Lanfa, Welshpool

• Newtown Library

• Llandrindod Wells Library

• y Gaer, Brecon

• Ystradgynlais Library

Residents can also order them through the council’s online library service and have them delivered to any library in Powys. Each box can be borrowed for two weeks.

Developed by researchers from the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, the boxes were created in consultation with people who experience symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder, often known as SAD. The project follows successful trials in Scottish libraries.

Each box includes a therapeutic light lamp and a guidebook containing ideas for simple indoor and outdoor activities that can help people establish a healthy winter routine. Borrowers will also be able to access a free online course offering further support and information.

Powys libraries volunteer, Sammi Orme, who has trialled one of the boxes, said: “I would definitely use this again. I’ve found the light has been really beneficial. I’ve called it the ‘happy lamp’, instead of the ‘SAD lamp’. Over a longer period of time, the boxes can definitely give you some good ideas to boost your happiness during the darkness."

...and no, it's not about who runs fastest.

**Calling our local running clubs**

Brecon Athletic Club Duffs does stuff Y Promenâd, Abermaw parkrun
we have a little challenge for you! 👀

What if this year's Mental Elf wasn't just a fun run, but a chance for our brilliant local running communities to go head-to-head in a little friendly fundraising competition?

The challenge: get your club together, rally your runners, raise some sponsorship and see who can raise the most for South Powys Mind (spoiler alert, we're grateful for every penny).

No pressure, no minimum targets, just a bit of friendly rivalry for a good cause. Every pound raised will help us continue supporting people with their mental health and wellbeing across South Powys.

And of course, the ultimate prize is bragging rights! 😉

Mental Elf takes place in Brecon on Sunday 29 November, and we'd absolutely love to see our local running clubs get involved.

**So, who's up for the challenge?** Tag your running club, spread the word and let's see what our local running community can do together!

Find out more and get your tickets: https://southpowysmind.org.uk/mental-elf-festive-fun-run/

Group tickets ARE available to purchase and information about setting up a fundraiser through our website (where we are able to keep hold of every donated penny!) all available on the above link.
