April Newsletter: Spring is Here – Let’s Step Outside!
Published: 07/04/2025
As April begins, we’re thrilled to bring you exciting updates, inspiring stories, and a look at what’s ahead at Right at Home Chippenham. Here’s what we’ve been up to:
Spring is finally here, bringing longer days, warmer weather, and a great reason to step outside! After a long winter, even small outdoor activities can brighten your mood and boost your well-being. Whether it’s enjoying a coffee at a local café, attending Sunday service, taking a stroll with your dog, or tending to your garden, these simple moments can make a big difference.
With the support of our dedicated CareGivers, you can safely enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of spring. A short walk, a visit to the park, or even sitting outside with a book can lift your spirits. Engaging in light activities like watering plants or feeding the birds can also add joy to your day. For those looking for more community engagement, Age UK Wiltshire is offering a variety of activities—be sure to check them out!
