The GAP team were all excited to be back today! We are spending today and tomorrow doing some planning and preparations, ready for our sessions returning next week!

We are also delighted to share our Wellbeing bunting which The Bureau has kindly displayed for us this summer! Participants across all our groups decorated flags and our wonderful GAP made group put them all together! We think they look fab and what an amazing reflection of people's thoughts about wellbeing.

Give us a like or a comment - what do you think of the bunting, have you seen it in the Bureau?

Today we have had a lovely team gathering, including following the 5 ways to wellbeing ourselves:
- we learned about gelli printing ready for next half term
- we connected over shared discussion and a buffet lunch
- we were mindful, taking time to reflect on the previous term and our successes
- we made cards to give to each other
- we were certainly active, as we always are trying to make our service the best it can be!

We hope all our participants have a wonderful summer, and take time out to do some art, and think about the 5 ways to wellbeing themselves.

Sessions recommence on 7th September.
