🎊 Happy Lunar New Year! 🐎

Today we welcome the start of the new year in the Chinese calendar. A time for fresh beginnings, good fortune and celebrating with loved ones.

The Lunar New Year (often called Chinese New Year) is celebrated by millions of people around the world. Traditions include cleaning the house to sweep away bad luck, decorating with red for prosperity, sharing meals together, and giving red envelopes for good wishes and happiness.

This year is the Year of the Horse, symbolising energy, strength, freedom and progress. ✨🐎

We hope the new year brings everyone happiness, good health and positivity.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow ❤️!

Whether tomorrow is about a partner, family, friends, or simply being kind to yourself, it's okay to celebrate in whatever way feels right for you.

And if Valentine's Day feels difficult, that's okay too. There's no pressure to celebrate - looking after yourself is more than enough.

👤Loneliness is common. Talking about it isn’t.

🍃Living with loneliness: my path to connection: this gentle, supportive workshop is a safe space to talk honestly about loneliness without judgement, fixing, or forced positivity.

🔎We’ll explore:
- The different types of loneliness (it’s not just “being on your own”)
- Why loneliness can show up even when we’re surrounded by people
- The quiet barriers that get in the way, like confidence, routines, past experiences, or practical challenges
- How to set small, realistic steps that actually fit your life

💗There’s no pressure to share more than you want. No expectations to suddenly become “confident” or “social”. Just space to reflect, understand yourself better, and leave with a simple, personal plan that feels doable.

📅 Thursday 5 March
🕙 10am to 12:30pm
📍 Reaching CIC, Lymedale Court, Chesteron
