This is a wellbeing cafe run by the community for the community helping to foster good emotional and mental wellbeing. All activities are inspired by the 5 ways to wellbeing. Renew 37 is the first of many connected to the national Renew Wellbeing network that is helping to establish similar spaces around the UK. Click tab above for more information.
connect, stay active, keep learning, take notice, give
The nationally recognised 5 ways to wellbeing are
1. Connect
2. Give
3. Be active
4. Keep learning
5. Take notice
These were recognised in research done by the New Economics Foundation as the top 5 ways to keep oneself in good emotional and mental health.
Working with the principles of co production ( collaborative not directive strength based approach) the Renew space encourages anyone who attends to set goals around these 5 ways to wellbeing.
We believe we are all on a sliding scale of mental wellbeing and ill health due to the pressures of life. Thus these wellbeing practices would benefit us all.
