Wokingham Wellbeing Week what’s on
A FESTIVAL of wellbeing will be good for Wokingham’s minds, bodies and souls next week.
Masterminded by Arborfield woman Anna Adams, the week aims to celebrate different groups that organise events aimed at lifting the borough’s mental health.
Over the seven days, there will be daily video blogs from Wokingham Paper columnist and Fundamental Coach Chris Hunt (pictured) and a plethora of events that includes storytelling, performance art, health and fitness and meditation and relaxation.
And best of all, many of the events run regularly throughout the year ensuring that this week is for life and not just for Christmas – well, Monday, May 13 to Sunday, May 19.
Mrs Adams said: “Rather than approach people to put on new events, I wanted to celebrate what was already happening in Wokingham and to help boost mental health in the borough.”
