A wonderful poem by Nadim Shammer. A poem he wrote when simply prompted to keep writing... “and then what?” “anything else?” Encouraging a growth/open mindset over a closed one is a skill we must all strive for

[Kate Clanchy @KateClanchy1]

Just to clarify - I suggested a few poetry exercises to his mum, @YasmineShamma and Nadim ran with them.

Why not take this opportunity form new, healthy habits? Staying at home doesn’t mean you have to stop being active! Set up an obstacle course in your garden, find a bespoke workout to suit you on https://t.co/ec5Z1OWCF5, or simply get outside for a daily walk, run or bike ride

Keep apart but keep moving! Exercise is a well known mood booster and helps with pretty much every single aspect of our mental and physical health, including maintaining a strong immune system

✔️ Exercise daily to keep your mind and body in good health.

🏠 You can leave home once a day to exercise.

🏃‍♀️ If you're thinking of going for a run this morning make sure to stay 2 metres away from others.

It's important to keep exercising. At times like these, it can be easy to fall into unhealthy patterns of behaviour that end up making you feel worse.

He's done it!

Captain Tom Moore, a 99-year-old war veteran who is walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday to raise money for the NHS, has completed his challenge!

He has raised more than £12m for the health service
