Week Two – NogginJogging – NHS Step 2: Be Physically Active

Our inspiration for this project has come from the NHS Five Steps to Wellbeing and week two’s theme is Being Physically Active. If you’re using culture and creativity creativity to inspire you to be active we would love to see your short video diary demonstrating what you do and why.

Being active is great for both body and mind. According to the NHS, it raises our self-esteem, boosts our mood and helps us achieve goals. At Lincoln Performing Arts Centre we feel much the same way about creative activity, so it’s a double helping of positivity this week.

To give you some inspiration the LPAC team have shared some examples on YouTube of how they are using culture and creativity to nurture their wellbeing, but this is just to get the ball rolling.

What we are really interested in is the approach of our community members. We want to hear your stories, hear see creative adventures and learn from your advice. For more information contact our producer Dawn Richmond-Gordon.
