Hello... Winter may be just around the corner, bringing shorter days and, for many of us, ‘the blues’, but there’s a lot to love about this time of year – from the crisp air of autumn to the get-togethers of Christmas. This
issue is full of ideas to help you get the best out of these months, whether it’s joining a dance club (see page 35), breaking into the world of acting (page 41), taking in a festive show (page 48), organizing a fireworks
night (page 51), taking in the iconic sights of London (page 57) or finding fun things to do (page 75). Chilly weather is also a great excuse to snuggle up and enjoy a good read, like how Scheme customer Charley is helping
disabled kids handle those growing pains (page 52). Finally, it may be a few weeks away yet, but we’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Christmas!

and comfort assistance dogs bring to their owners (page 41), discover ways to keep your cool in the heat (page 51), and find out how visually-impaired Maleeka is helping fellow teenagers appreciate their uniqueness (page

Hello... and happy New Year! After the excesses of Christmas, this is usually the time we plan to get our bodies fitter, but it’s just as important to look after our mental health, too. This issue includes advice and tips on
how to improve wellbeing, such as ways to lose weight with mindfulness; actions to deal with mental distress; rainy-day hobbies that provide a creative, mind-boosting outlet; and, if you’re after something more active,
how to enjoy the thrill of the slopes. If you’re still in need of inspiration, then Motability Scheme customer Nicki’s story of how she achieved her childhood dreams and became a role model and protector to all is sure
to do the trick. So, make yourself a cuppa, settle down and let Lifestyle help you get excited about the year ahead!
