Simple activities like sharing a coffee or catching up for a chat helps keep people connected and start to have important conversations about wellbeing
Thought about joining a club? There are more out there than you’d might think! Whether it’s having a yarn with fellow veterans at your local pub or meeting up for a game of golf, staying social can be greatly beneficial for your mental and physical wellbeing. All it can take sometimes is a conversation.
