Members helped to pick rhubarb for the crumble from the CLC allotment an then spent time prepping and chopping all the ingredients to make 2 delicious recipes. This initiative has been designed so that members of the CLC can access both short and longer term volunteering opportunities as part of the 5 ways to wellbeing model with the central theme of giving back. Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to improve your mental wellbeing. The 5 Ways to Wellbeing model focuses on: Connecting with other people. Being physically active. Learning new skills. Giving to others. Paying attention to the present moment (mindfulness). Here at the Creative Living Centre, we have a varied timetable of support available for members.
