To celebrate 5 years of our Be Well service, we're highlighting the positive impact it has had on many of our residents.

One strand of Be Well is Be Active. Be Active is our wellness and movement programme that supports residents to take care of their overall health.

At Cherry Trees in Redcar, Be active has been incorporated into many of the residents' daily lives. We spoke with two residents, Sue Mitchell and Maureen Russell, who share how Be Active has created a sense of community as the sessions have created a space for them to chat and get to know each other better.

Be Connected sits under our Be Well offering and includes a variety of ways residents can get to know others, from coffee mornings to book clubs.

Our Chatty Benches are springing up across the country, and our 700th Chatty Bench was installed at the historic landmark Bolton Abbey last year.

We now have over 900 Chatty Benches across the country. To find out more about this initiative and to find a bench near you, please visit: https://www.anchor.org.uk/media/campaigns/chatty-benches

Our Be Well service offers residents a variety of initiatives and activities designed to support with their wellbeing. These vary from Be Active which focusses on leading an active lifestyle to Be Connected which helps foster connection between residents.

Be Well recently turned 5, and to start the celebrations, Lauren Smith, Resident Wellbeing Lead at Anchor, talks more about how the service has grown into what it is today.

In her blog she talks about how Be Well started as a simple idea to provide residents with the resources to take care of their wellbeing and the amazing things that have been achieved along the way.
