Such a lovely meeting held for staff wellbeing in the wellbeing garden at Beaumont House on the 14th July

# data[].attributes.body
Take a coffee break with a colleague, friend or family member

Talk to people face to face where possible, rather than by phone or email, but maybe catch up with someone in service you haven't chatted with in a while and say Hi!

Arrange to meet a friend you haven’t seen for a while

Use the gratitude and wellbeing wall

To help with my well being, I go cold water dipping. The benefits are fantastic and we have a lovely group of men and women and we meet up often at Cwmcarn Scenic drive rockpools. We have a facebook page called dippingdales and dipettes and people post when they are going and where. The benefits I have had from cold water therapy include an improved sleep, its helped my hip injury recovery, it gives me a great buzz and most of all if I am feeling stressed, it relieves the tension instantly. Everyone always more than welcome to join, everyone is a beginner sometime and we have new people joining all the time. Whats important is that there also a mens group ( i cant add two images though)

Hi everyone!

Myself and a few others from Imms are doing the Cancer Research Muddy 5k in Cardiff on 4th May. If anyone would like to join us to have fun and raise vital funds that would be amazing!!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You fundraise, we discover

More than 10 million of you have taken part in Race for Life events since 1994, fundraising for Cancer Research UK.

Race for Life has raised over £970 million towards life-saving cancer research since it began 30 years ago.

With your money, we've helped develop radiotherapy, which helps 130,000+ people with cancer in the UK every year.

"Pretty Muddy® gives you a good buzz, it's really uplifting."

"I felt really good after the event, it's an adrenaline rush but also so touching with all the people that are there on their cancer journey and raising money for the future. I've been doing Pretty Muddy® for a few years now, and I really enjoy it, it's lots of fun and the children did it for the first time last year with special meaning because my husband has cancer at the moment. We're all going to do it again in the summer."

Sarah, Pretty Muddy® Preston 2022

Bring a change of clothes
If you're getting Pretty Muddy®, remember to bring spare clothes and a towel. Check the facilities tab above to see what there is at your event. Unfortunately, there are no lockers, changing facilities or showers at the Race for Life events, so please bear this in mind and ask friends to look after your valuable belongings, clean clothes and towels.

Have the right kit
It's a good idea to check the weather before your event and dress accordingly. Think breathable sports gear (leggings and shorts are ideal) and well-fitting trainers. For Pretty Muddy, wear something you don't mind getting dirty.
Check out the latest range of Race for Life clothing and accessories in our online shop.

Be sun smart
Stay sun safe by finding shade when you're not on the course and covering up with clothes, a hat and sunglasses. On parts you can't cover, use sunscreen with at least SPF15 and a 4 or 5 star rating. Find out more about being sun smart.

Your back sign and race number
Remember to bring your back sign and Race number which will be sent to you in the post - don't forget safety pins so you can attach them to you.

Pretty Muddy® events start times are staggered in 'waves', each wave starts every 15 minutes to ensure you're safe on the course. If you're signed up as a group, please make sure you sign up for the same wave time.

Climb, crawl and slide your way around the course at your own pace. We want you to tackle every obstacle the best you can, but if you need to skip to the next one our marshals will be on hand to assist. Find out more about Pretty Muddy® obstacles.

To be part of the action, you must be 13 years of age or older at the time of your event. We've got something special for our young participants too - check out our Pretty Muddy® Kids events for kids aged 12 and under!

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, please seek your doctor's advice before registering.

We're with you every step of the way
