Friday Wellbeing
These sessions take place in The Place to Pause & Breathe in Bonnybridge. Click here for more information about the venue.
We have previously obtained funding to run FREE dessions on Friday mornings. This has been a mix of different activities, all designed to help improve wellbeing - physically, mentally, emotionally - or sometimes all three!
Although our funding ran out at the end of October, some of our community members are volunteering their time to continue to hold sessions. These are now £5 to attend, as we don’t have funding to cover our costs. See below for what’s coming up.
