Live Life to the Full is a course designed for people that are experiencing isolation, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, anxiety, low moods or low motivation.
In 2022, we saw an increase in customers who were experiencing poor health and struggling with their wellbeing, and the negative impact this was having on their daily lives. This could manifest itself in people feeling unable to:
- Tackle household tasks such as cleaning, decluttering and gardening
- Deal with their bills
- Manage neighbour issues, or family issues without support
- Take responsibility for themselves.
We introduced the six-week Live Life to the Full course for customers to embrace their strengths.
40 customers have taken part, and all have reported significant improvements in their health and wellbeing, self-esteem and confidence.
Many attendees have also since enrolled in training and volunteering opportunities, with all reporting that the course had a positive impact on their mental health and wellbeing.
What did our customers say?
“The course made me recognise my low self- esteem and challenge myself to get out and socialise more. It gave me the opportunity to understand my struggle but built my strength too. The course has even made me confident enough to do volunteering.”
Yasmin
“The course has given me a greater understanding of how my mental health affects me and the people around me. It’s also given me more ways to manage my mental health, allowing me to understand what I can control and what I can’t.”
