Whether itā€™s connecting with someone, getting active, learning something new, giving to others or simply taking notice of the world around you, small actions can make a difference.

Watch our short video and discover the Five Ways to Wellbeing.

ā¤ For many people, saving money is one of the biggest reasons to quit smoking. A 20-a-day habit can cost more than Ā£4,000 a year - that's money you could be spending on the things that matter most to you.

Whether it's a holiday, home improvements, family days out, or simply easing the cost of living, every smoke-free day adds up. Savings start from day one of your quit journey.

ā¤ Holly and Becky from our training team, alongside Francesca and Adrian from our CHAMPs Team, had the privilege of delivering Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Training to the staff of Aspire Support this week. Aspire support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults.

This mandatory training is so important in helping health and social care staff better understand the needs of autistic people and people with a learning disability, ensuring individuals receive care that is compassionate, informed, and person-centred.

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training was created to tackle the health inequalities many people face and to build confidence, understanding, and meaningful change across services. Sessions like these encourage open conversations, shared experiences, and practical learning that can genuinely improve lives.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, contributed, and shared their perspectives throughout the day ā€“ our team thoroughly enjoyed the day and it was fantastic to see such an enthusiastic and passionate group taking part in the training.

ā¤ We spent a wonderful morning at Lewannick C P School this week, delivering an interactive whole-school assembly for Snack-tember and sensory exploration sessions for each class.

The children were so engaged and excited to explore new and healthier snack options.

šŸ™Œ Thank you to the Explorers, Adventurers and the Leaders for getting stuck in and having such mature attitudes towards new snack territory! The children learned how typical snacks high in sugar, fat and salt are also likely to be low in essential food groups found on the Eatwell Guide, and why these choices aren't the best for making sure their growing bodies and learning minds get the nutrients necessary to be as healthy as possible.

šŸ«› Each of the 10 Snack Stations displayed a card showing which food groups are contained in each snack. All of the snacks contained at least one fruit or vegetable Lewannick have been growing as part of their Plot to Plate Programme with us. The children were asked to write down their favourite, set a Snack-tember Pledge and to tell their families of their new found favourites.

šŸ—£ļø Jack, Seren and Arthur particularly loved the Pea Fritters and pledges were set to 'try to avoid sugary snacks', 'eat more apples' and to 'stay healthy'. Thomas loved the unsalted crisps and Teddy couldn't get enough of the carrot sticks with houmous!

We are very much looking forward to visiting Lewannick again after half-term to meet with parents for an informal session around all things snack, nutrition and veggie growing!

šŸ§ ā¤ Many people believe smoking helps them cope with stress, but the reality is that smoking can actually increase feelings of anxiety and tension over time.

Research shows that quitting smoking can improve your mental wellbeing, boost your mood, and reduce anxiety levels. As your body recovers from ni****ne addiction, you'll no longer experience that cycle of cravings and withdrawal that actually contributes to your stress levels.

Quitting isn't just one of the best things you can do for your physical health, it's a huge benefit for your mental health too.

ā¤ Another fantastic time visiting students at Bodmin College to promote Snacktember, the annual campaign that encourages healthier snacking habits.

So many young people wanted to chat and adopt one of Healthy Cornwall's famous "fluffy apples". It was great to see students choosing to drink water and eat fruit as part of their day.

We had some brilliant conversations about simple swaps and small changes that can help support health and wellbeing. The students had lots of ideas about how they could make healthier choices, both at school and at home.

It's also been wonderful to have the support of the college caterers and ASDA, who have kindly donated eggs and fruit to the breakfast club. This feels like the beginning of a great partnership, helping to ensure that young people have access to a healthy start to the day.

A big thank you to the staff, students, caterers and community partners for their enthusiasm and support, it's inspiring to see so many young people taking steps towards healthier habits.

We had another great time last week at Lodge & Thomas - Agriculture & Auctions, supporting our local farmers and having some really positive conversations around health and wellbeing.

It was fantastic to be there alongside Farm Fit, Ara Recovery For All,Community Pharmacy Cornwall and the Vaccination Team, bringing a range of health and wellbeing support directly to our farming community.

šŸ“… Weā€™ll be back at the market on Wednesday 28 October, so please come along, say hello and find out what support is available.

Yes - itā€™s called Stoptober, but that doesnā€™t mean youā€™ve missed your chance if you didnā€™t quit on the 1st.

Whether itā€™s the 1st, 2nd, 15th or even the 30th of October, you can start your smokefree journey at any time. The idea of Stoptober is simply there to give you that extra nudge and motivation to take the first step.

The most important thing is making the decision to quit when you're ready.
So, if you've been thinking about quitting, don't delay ā€“ get in touch and together letā€™s start your journey to a smokefree life.

ā¤ Last week's Jamie's Ministry of Food UK Cooking Skills workshop for home educated families in Bodmin was fantastic!

šŸ„ššŸ³ We started by making scrambled eggs, with one father telling us he'd never made them before and happy to learn a new skill - The best part? All three of his children enjoyed eating them too!

šŸ„ž Next up were One Cup Pancakes, and families got creative with their recipes and toppings.

šŸ“šŸ«One family adapted the recipe to suit a gluten and dairy free diet, discovering that warmed frozen berries and cinnamon make a delicious healthy pancake topping.

šŸŒ Another family made wholemeal pancakes, which worked really well. They then wrapped a pancake, covered in Greek yoghurt, around a whole banana and sliced it up, creating what they described as "sweet sushi rolls"!

It's been wonderful to see families building confidence, sharing ideas and making healthy, affordable recipes together.
