🌟 Members Give Back Winners - Glens Wellbeing Group, one of the winners so far this year.
The group enjoyed a lovely walk around Cushendun Village this morning, taking in the fresh air, staying active and reaping the benefits that walking brings to both physical and mental wellbeing.
The morning was rounded off perfectly with a well-earned cuppa and some good company. ☕😊

We're delighted to support our members through our Give Back initiative and look forward to sharing more winners throughout the year.
