The Five Ways to Wellbeing are five simple steps you can take to improve your overall well-being.
You may already do some of these things, but by finding time in your day for all five, the benefits are much increased.
Each week we’ll focus on one of the five ways per week and share local services and opportunities that help you connect with the week’s theme - and earn points!
Take Notice 24 - 30 November
Slowing down and taking notice of the world around you can bring about reductions in stress and improvements in mood.
This week, the Council will be hosting a photography competition! When you enter, you’ll be in with a chance of winning Amazon vouchers. We will be giving £50 vouchers to the top three entries and £25 vouchers to the four runners-up.
Getting out and about to look for things to photograph in Hounslow is a great way to see the borough. You could photograph one of our wonderful green spaces, vibrant town centres, or anything in between.
To enter, just email your photograph, along with your full name and a few words about why you’ve chosen this particular subject, to [email protected] by the end of Sunday, 30 November. Please use the subject “Five ways photo competition”.
Councillor Lily Bath will pick her seven favourites, and then Hounslow Council will put it to a public vote to choose the winners of the three £50 Amazon vouchers. The Council will also post the winners across their social media channels and display the photos on the ground floor of Hounslow House.
