This week at Pulling Together we began to discuss some of the topics we would cover in the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. The group wanted our recent experiences to be part of these comicstrips. This feeling of isolation is something that most of us had not experienced before and the urge to help in whatever way we could was a way for us all too get through the pandemic.

This week at Pulling Together we held an extra session to start our latest project. The project has been funded by Awards for All and is part of our OT Comicstrip series. This comic will be based around the 5 Ways of Wellbeing established by the New Economics Foundation; Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Give and Keep Learning. The challenge faced by us is to use our current situation during the Coronavirus Pandemic to link each of the above ways of wellbeing in the comic strip stories we create.

We looked at the Pixton website that we will be using during the project to prepare all of the stories. Each of the members have been asked to practice using the website before our next session.

This week at Pulling Together we will be sharing some hair accessories with the members after seeing them being distributed on InKind Direct. They will be delivered to the members homes so that they can use them for feel good moments during our extended lockdown. Keep looking out for some interesting hair pictures.

Pulling Together would like to thank Inkind Direct for giving us the chance to obtain products at discounted prices to share with all our group.

This week at Pulling Together we have shared some autumn bulbs to make our gardens look brighter in spring. Let’s hope that we can all begin to meet again in person before these flowers bloom.

This week at Pulling Together we have started to share images of some more of the foods we all made with the food that was delivered a few days ago. Perhaps after all this is over a recipe book should be created.

This week at Pulling Together we have begun another round of Ready, Steady Cook and this time we have included a Bake Off element. Look out for images of what we have been making over the next few weeks.
