When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.Thank you Barnstaple Town Council for including us in this wonderful celebration of tradition and community! We were honoured to be one of the five voluntary organisations invited. If you look closely you can see Sue in her Vista green top 😊. Thanks to everyone who nominated us 💚
On the dodgems, speeding at the back?
Notice for all wellbeing walkers! The weather is changeable this morning, so we are still not sure. However, Sue will be at the usual meeting point, outside the museum, for those who are up for a challenge, but it may be that you all retreat to the Bike Shed for a lovely cuppa and chat.
Hope you’ll be better soon Veronica. Have sent Hazel a text. See you all on Friday 🤞
Cuppa at the bikeshed sounds great but unfortunately I’m under the weather so we won’t be able to join you today. Hazel is having her operation this morning so it would be great if you could all send her some positive vibes xxx

In fact, it can often be avoided if simple advice is followed.I would be interested to know the takeup of this compared to the reach and impact of the face to face programme from Vista Wellbeing, which was excellent and met social interaction needs too? Will there be an evaluation? Thanks
