The Hamlets & District Wellbeing Club

The logo...

The roughly drawn circles represent the fact that we're all different, in many different ways as shown by the variety of colours with diffetent sizes that interact in different ways. Difference is a good thing and to be embraced and celebrated. Life would be very dull without difference. It reflects the fact that we don't expect to please everyone all of the time, but maybe some people, some of the time. We hope to see as many people at different things as possible, but you decide what you want to do, or not to do.

Introduction

The Community Council contributed £1800 to be used to promote wellbeing in our community. A small group was formed to direct these funds to worthwhile causes. The group decided to use the funds to prime activities that residents have suggested.

 

The idea is to give assistance in setting up activities that bring people together around a common interest that improves health and wellbeing. Any activities which prove to have interested residents will be further supported to establish an informal contact group, probably with its own WhatsApp group so that those who are interested can keep in touch with each other to develop their shared activity or interest.

 

The initiative runs until July 2026. We hope that various activities will have been tried and enough people are interested enough to just get on with it themselves. That could be a couple of people decide to go wild swimming occasionally, or a group become part of a Pilates class. That part will be up to you.
 

Some suggestions so far are:

 

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Pilates
🎨 Art Classes
🧠 Quiz Nights

🗣️ Talks & demonstrations
🌿 Guided Community Walks – talking optional.
❄️ Wild Swims & Sauna Socials
🏃 Couch to 5K (CT5K)
🎯 Pub Games & Socials
🚐 Local Outings & Day Trips

Let us know about your own ideas.

💸 Why We Charge (a Little)

All events are low-cost or subsidised for locals— and any money we raise through donations, sales, or ticketed events goes straight back into the activities. We can now accept cash and also contactless payments via the card machine.

☕ Tea, coffee & cakes
🎟️ Donations & ticket sales
🛍️ Sundries & merchandise

👫 Better Together

The wellbeing initiative is about bring people together to have a laugh, try something different, share a common interest or activity and enjoy what’s already around us. It’s all about community, curiosity, and low-pressure fun — no need to commit, compete, or conform.

​

Come as you are. Join what you like. No pressure, just possibilities. Try something new. Do your own thing. Or just come for the company. 

​

📣 Stay in the Loop

We’ve created a WhatsApp group for updates, last-minute invites, and casual connections. Want to join? Just ask and we’ll add you in.

 

You're invited. You're welcome. You're already part of it.
