Wellbeing
5 Ways to Wellbeing - a set of evidence based actions that promote wellbeing.
Research has shown that these "five ways to wellbeing" allow us to really flourish. They are things that many of us are already doing as we live life to the full, inspired by our Gospel Values. They are activities we can all get involved with: whether it’s getting out and about, doing a good deed, spending time with others, going for a walk, taking more notice of our local environment or learning to do something new.
