Yesterday afternoon our members enjoyed a relaxing yoga session outdoors in the fresh air. ☀️💚 We started by using bubbles for breathing exercises, helping everyone to slow down, focus, and relax. 😌

Being outside allowed us to connect with nature as we enjoyed some mindfulness activities, listening carefully to the birds singing 🐦 and the gentle breeze through the trees. 🍃
Gethin invited members to choose yoga pose cards, and everyone had a turn taking part in a variety of stretches and poses. 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️⭐

Sessions like these are a great way to support wellbeing, reduce stress, build confidence, and spend timetime together with friends. 💙 A big thank you to everyone who joined us today. We hope you left feeling calm, refreshed, and smiling! 😊✨

Yesterday morning, Ffion delivered an online Easy Read presentation to Geraint Ashton and his colleagues from Caerphilly Council. 💻👏 We started with a fun icebreaker question: 🎵 “What are you looking forward to?” Many people said music concerts! 🎤🎶

Ffion talked about: 📖 What Easy Read is 💡 Why Easy Read is important 📄 Which documents should be in Easy Read ✏️ How to create Easy Read information. Everyone took part in an activity where they changed a complicated sentence full of jargon into an Easy Read sentence. 👍

Ffion did an amazing job speaking, explaining, and answering questions. We are very proud of her! 💙⭐ Easy Read helps make information accessible for everyone and supports people to understand important information. 👏 Well done, Ffion! 👏
