Lifestyle on Prescription aims to encourage small and manageable lifestyle changes, showing that common conditions such as high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, poor mental health and even the menopause can be improved through behaviour change.

There is an array of local support available: https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/livewell/health-matters/health-conditions/lifestyle-on-prescription/lifestyle-on-prescription.aspx

The information tool looks at:
• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Mental wellbeing
• Enjoying nature, getting active
• Eating well
• Good sleep
• Connecting with your community

Absolutely anybody can use this tool, so, whether you have just been diagnosed with a new long-term condition, you have just started a new treatment, you are due to have surgery or you just want to take that first step in thinking about making one small change.

Age UK Cheshire East Scams Awareness Update Issue 42

In this issue we talk about the concept of money muling. Something that, on the face of it, is something we’d not enter into knowingly. But as the case study shows these are camouflaged as something else entirely the victim only knowing the truth when the police are at the door !

We also detail the current fraud alerts in the area:

Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) impersonation scam
Courier Police impersonation fraud
Air fryer scam emails
Liquidation stock frauds
details can be found on page 4

https://www.ageuk.org.uk/cheshireeast/our-services/scams-awareness/
Please feel free to share the bulletin with anyone you feel might be interested in reading it. Regardless of age or location; members; their friends, neighbours, colleagues, and wider family members; can all benefit from being scam aware.

Christmas is one of those occasions when calligraphy could feel a little too formal. This day will look at the options available for a more relaxed, even quirky, and very jolly style of lettering.
