Friends of The Veterans Cottage

06/05/2026

We had the pleasure of welcoming Positive Earth Community to the Veterans Cottage during their incredible charity walk from Ely to West Yorkshire 👣

They’re currently raising funds to open a micro-pub and community space focused on mental health and wellbeing — something we’re fully behind. Spaces like this truly matter.

It sparked some real conversations around mental health, connection, and how important it is that we look out for one another. The COVID years separated so many of us, and we’re still feeling the effects — but things are looking up.

More people than ever are stepping forward, creating CICs, building community-led support, and making a difference where it’s needed most. That can only be a good thing.

We wish them all the success on their journey — and we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way 💚

There’s something really special about women coming together, slowing down, and just being. 💛

Today at the cottage, Kayleigh, Kirsty, Colleen, Morgan and Rebecca joined us for a beautiful wellbeing day filled with relaxation, connection, and plenty of laughter.

We started the day with a relaxing soundbath, allowing everyone to fully unwind and settle into the space.
The girls then experienced a mix of nurturing treatments including hot stone massage with the lovely Julia using Neal’s Yard products, Lynette’s powerful shamanic drumming, and back,neck & shoulders massages… before we gently closed the day with a heart-opening cacao ceremony.

But more than anything, it was the energy in the room that stood out. The conversations, the giggles, and the bond between friends. You could really feel the joy of simply spending quality time together.

This is what it’s all about. Stepping away from the busy world and giving yourself permission to relax, reset, and reconnect — with yourself and with each other.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something different with your friends, send us a message we can create a bespoke wellbeing day for you ☺️

Self-care isn’t selfish… it’s essential.

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking time to rest, breathe, reset and look after your wellbeing isn’t a luxury—it’s what keeps you going for everyone and everything else in your life.

At RCW Wellbeing, we see it all the time—people running on empty, putting themselves last. But when you start showing up for you, everything begins to shift.

So this is your reminder:
✨ It’s okay to slow down
✨ It’s okay to say no
✨ It’s okay to choose yourself

Because when you’re well, you’re stronger—for your family, your work, your community… and most importantly, for you.

Accessible, affordable wellbeing for everyone 💛
