Wellbeing Advice for Bedford Borough Residents During Lockdown

With a new period of nationwide lockdown in England now underway, there is a wide range support and advice available to help residents in Bedford Borough to look after their mind and body.

In April, the council created a webpage, www.bedford.gov.uk/wellbeing, offering advice to Bedford Borough residents on how to look after themselves whilst at home during the coronavirus outbreak and beyond.

With regular updates, the site offers advice and signposting to help residents stay healthy in what continues to be an extremely difficult and uncertain year.

This page includes a range of materials, such as:

• Exercise tips including indoor games for kids, live fitness classes, and seated exercises
• Mental health advice and links to services that can provide help
• Food and nutritional guidance including Change4Life resources, recipes and cooking videos
• Further Public Health advice including sexual health, stop smoking, drugs and alcohol, health checks and emotional wellbeing
