NEW! Me, Myself & WI
On behalf of the NFWI Activities Committee, I’m pleased to write and announce details of an exciting new activity taking place in May for WI members – Me, Myself and WI.
The objective of this activity is to encourage members to take time to look at their own mental health and physical wellbeing, making time to put themselves first and recognise ways in which they can make small adjustments to their daily life and to help improve their understanding of the importance of taking care of their mind and body. We feel strongly that the objectives of Me, Myself and WI fit beautifully in support and recognition of the National Mental Health Awareness week (hosted by MIND), starting on the 10 May 2021. As such, Me, Myself and WI will offer a week of activities to encourage members to take a step out of their normal routine and take some time to focus on themselves and their wellbeing.
Please find attached an advert which gives an outline of the week plus the Me, Myself and WI logo, which will be used during the lead up to and throughout the week, so that members can easily associate activities with the event.
In addition to the above, we would like members to engage with us, and one another, by sharing the following…
- Any music or songs they feel has helped them lift their spirits throughout lock down; we will use the recommendations to create a Feel Good Playlist that will be accessible via You Tube.
- Any series or programme recommendations that have been particularly enjoyable; these will be used to create a WI Watchlist for members.
- Inspirational quotes that can be used to create an Inspirational Quote of the Day on our social media platforms every day throughout the week.
Please send recommendations to e.harker@nfwi-unit.org.uk by 10 April 2021.
Further details regarding activities taking place during Me, Myself & WI will be released in the coming week. In the meantime, we would appreciate your support in cascading this email to your WIs and fellow members.
