𝗔 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 🌿

Our Volunteer Services Team recently held our first pilot mindfulness session for volunteers, and it was a fantastic success!

We were delighted to have volunteer Linda lead the session, sharing her extensive professional experience and expertise in mindfulness. Volunteers explored the benefits of mindfulness and learned practical techniques that can be easily incorporated into everyday life to support wellbeing.

The session began and ended with a guided meditation, creating a calm and reflective space to pause, reset and put mindfulness into practice.

The interactive session received excellent feedback, with volunteers particularly valuing Linda's knowledge, insight and guidance throughout.

A huge thank you to Linda for generously sharing her time and expertise. We are thrilled by the success of the session and look forward to welcoming her back for another mindfulness workshop in the coming months.
