The darker days getting you down? 👇

Connecting with the people around us is a great way to remind ourselves that we’re important and valued by others. So here are a few ideas of ways to connect with people this winter:

- Plan a potluck dinner where everyone brings a dish to share.
- Attend local events or workshops to meet new people.
- Arrange a movie night with friends using a streaming service.
- Join a local community group or club that interests you.
- Start a weekly video call with a friend or family member to catch up.
- Create a shared photo album to document winter memories.
