Knitting Adventures at PCHP!

Knitting Adventures!

Hey everyone!

There’s something incredibly soothing about the rhythmic motion of the needles and watching a beautiful pattern come to life. Whether it’s a cozy scarf, a warm blanket, or a cute little hat, each project feels like a small accomplishment.

If you’re looking for a way to unwind and create something special, I highly recommend giving knitting a try. Plus, it’s a great way to make personalized gifts for friends and family!

When: Every Monday 1-3 PM

Where: Pilton Community Health Project, 73 Boswall Parkway, EH5 2PW

Happy knitting!

PCHP: Embrace Nature and Connection This Winter

As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, it’s more important than ever to prioritize our well-being. Spending time in nature and with loved ones can be a powerful antidote to the winter blues.

Here’s why:

Boosts Mood and Reduces Stress: Nature has a calming effect on our minds. A walk in the park or a hike in the woods can lower stress levels and improve mood.

Enhances Physical Health: Fresh air and physical activity are great for our bodies. Even a short outdoor stroll can boost your immune system and keep you active.

Strengthens Relationships: Spending quality time with friends and family fosters deeper connections and provides emotional support. Whether it’s a cozy indoor gathering or an outdoor adventure, these moments are invaluable.

Combats Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Exposure to natural light, even on cloudy days, can help alleviate symptoms of SAD. Pairing this with social interactions can further enhance your mental health.

Encourages Mindfulness: Nature encourages us to slow down and be present.

This mindfulness can help us appreciate the beauty around us and find joy in the little things.

So, bundle up, step outside, and make time for the people who matter. Let’s make this winter a season of connection and wellbeing!

PCHP’s Community Wellbeing Programme has lots to offer you this #Winter, why not pop in and take a look at our sessions or speak to one of the team.

Tomorrow: Breathing Room at PCHP

Mondays can be difficult!

The weekends are never long enough and sometimes it can feel like we’re caught in a cycle of never-ending mundane tasks; take the kids to school, walk the dog, do the washing, go shopping, make dinner, blah, blah, blah!

Sound familiar?

Where are you in all of this? If you’re looking to prioritize yourself more and focus on your wellbeing, why not join Jules on Monday morning for a spot of Breathwork.

Sessions start at 9.30am and last for 30 minutes.

30 minutes just for you

30 minutes of relaxation

30 minutes away from the humdrum

If you’re interested and would like to find out more, email hello@pchp.org.uk or simply drop-in on Monday and see for yourself!

Let’s breathe our way through the week together.
