LWLTC is a free 6-week course that can help a person to take more control of their health by learning new skills and strategies to manage their condition on a daily basis. The course focuses on what a person can do, rather than what they can’t.  Each session is one day a week and lasts two and a half hours. Refreshments are provided.

• Dealing with symptoms like pain and tiredness
• Coping with depression or feeling low
• Relaxation techniques
• Physical activity
• Healthy eating

• Planning for the future
• Setting realistic goals and pacing yourself

The course is run by two trained tutors who themselves live with long-term conditions. They can give practical advice based on their own life experiences.

FareShare Foodcloud connects your charity or community group to a local Tesco store so that you can access the surplus food they have left at the end of each day, for free! FareShare FoodCloud is designed to be as simple as possible for you so works via text message. On an allocated evening of the week, Tesco will let you know what surplus food is available. All you then need to do is text back to confirm you’d like the food and Tesco will get it ready for you to collect.
