🌞🎉 What an unforgettable day at The Sidcup’s Summer Fete!

The sun was shining, the games were buzzing, the food and drinks kept us smiling, and the atmosphere was full of laughter and joy. This event felt like a reunion of family and friends. We were honoured to welcome Bexley Mayor Cllr Catterall and Consor Mr Dave Curtois as our VIP guests, and the incredible Mark had everyone singing along with his much-loved performance. 🎶💛

But what truly made the day so special was the generosity of our donors – our residents, relatives, staff, and local businesses. Your kindness, support, and contributions helped us create a day filled with happy winners, bright smiles, and memories we’ll cherish. 💐

This fete was more than just an event – it was a celebration of togetherness, community spirit, and summer joy. Thank you to everyone who played a part – we couldn’t have done it without you! 🙌✨

Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!
