Whilst these times we are living through right now can be worrying, it's important that we all look after one another and take care of our health.
Along with Public Health Wales, we've compiled a list of resources and tips available to help you through these unprecedented times. For a quick summary click here.

As well as our physical health, it's vitally important to take care of our mental health. While it is important to stay informed, there are also many things we can do to support and tackle our wellbeing during such difficult times.

At Ospreys in the Community, we were devastated to have to postpone our Sporting Memories sessions, but the health of all our participants is of the upmost importance.
Despite not being able to be with each other right now, Helen John our Health and Wellbeing co-ordinator has adapted a number of resources so attendees can access them online. As well as sending out weekly newsletters and emails filled with trivia, puzzles, we've also set up Whatsapp and Facebook groups to keep our members engaged.
We're always looking for new ideas and sporting memories to share, so if you'd like to get involved, contact Helen today at helen.john@ospreysrugby.com
If anyone would like to join our facebook group or get in touch with us on social media click here.
