Since 2022, we’ve been offering sessions fortnightly (Mondays) for our community elders; coffee mornings, lunches, walks, and excursions full of conversation and laughter.
We love listening to them and their resilience…
We’ve taken the group to windcityfarm, and to @BristolUni Botanic Garden today as part of improving their wellbeing physically & emotionally through enjoying the nature & variety of plants.
The wonderful Anne (volunteer of Botanic Gardens) explained to the women about the histories of the plants & their health benefits + Zahra Kosar interpreted.
Research shows that social isolation and loneliness, are major contributing risk factors to poor physical and mental health within the older adults. So let’s reduce it together!
This is a short video where the wonderful Anne (volunteer of Botanic Gardens) explained to the women about the histories of plants & their health benefits. (I've done some interpreting as well).Very interesting & educational indeed.Thanks Hodan @samirabhac team and Julie & Anne. https://t.co/0h7smDfz5R pic.twitter.com/cJuglHUlXo
