‘Your wellbeing, your way’ is a free six-week rolling programme designed to support adults living with a life-limiting illness, as well as their carers and family members, in the heart of our community. Each session offers practical information, some guidance and space to explore questions in a relaxed, friendly setting. There’s no referral needed and you can attend just one session or come along to the whole programme.
Following the success of the programme in New Malden, we’re exploring new venues and community spaces and are working to develop new activities and local partnerships that support wellbeing closer to where people live. We look forward to sharing updates on new locations and programmes as they become available. Watch this space for news about where we’ll be next!
