Kate Mosse has written an extraordinary book about caring which highlights not only her personal story but how we, as a country, care for others. She writes about dignity in ageing and how we balance that difficult tightrope of being a daughter, partner, sibling first and a carer, second. What I found especially moving was
What are third spaces? A third space is a place that isn’t your home or work, but somewhere else that helps you to feel connected.

We look at five wellbeing trends for 2024 that will most likely impact us. Some of the ideas have been around for a while but continue to shift and expand as we move into 2024. This will move across to our workplaces, so how can we help to support team’s wellness wants and needs? According
In the New Year, we can often tie ourselves up with what we need to restrict. We may say to ourselves, less food, less alcohol, less going out, less joy even. But what if we switched that around and started thinking about more? Less can lead to a pretty miserable start to the year as
This new year I’m keen to find quick and easy ways to help boost my wellbeing and if possible, with things I may have around the house. Many of us have heard about the benefits of a weighted blanket, but with availability and suitability in mind, I’m not sure that this is right for me.

Stress is an ever-present aspect of our lives, and while it’s a normal response to challenging situations, it’s crucial to recognise when it starts to take a toll on our wellbeing. So, how can you identify the signs of stress and take proactive steps towards managing it? 1. Reflecting on Your Emotions: At huunuu we

Often, when people think about quick fixes and tools to help with wellbeing, we immediately think of happy and uplifting things. Fresh air, sunshine, exercise: upbeat exciting things. Well, that’s what I have found at least. That isn’t the case for me. Those small quick fixes to boost my mood and make me happier may
Ahh ‘Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ is upon us and is arguably one of my favourite times of the year. When John Keats wrote this much-loved poem, over 200 years ago, the seasons were most likely a little more easily defined, but it is still relevant as it speaks of change, which is a
