Using gardening to change lives
Move, stretch, grow: staying active through gardening -share and learn session
Move, stretch, grow: staying active through gardening -share and learn session
We are looking forward to seeing you at our next Share and Learn session. This week we will be joined by Thrive to kickstart the Green Care for You campaign. This session will demonstrate how gardening supports physical and mental wellbeing as well as equip you with some simple, repeatable exercises and stretches to garden safely and help build strength, balance, and flexibility. Participants in Carers UK online meetups and events are not allowed to record the video and/or audio of proceedings either through software or physical devices such as video cameras or mobile telephones. Further, participants may not publish, or cause to be published, recordings of events (such as official recordings made available by Carers UK) on any media such as social media platforms or other websites without specific written permission from Carers UK. If you can't attend this one, hopefully you can join another very soon.
