Winter can be a particularly tough time for people affected by aplastic anaemia. Perhaps you're facing Christmas with an added dose of fatigue, feeling befuddled by vaccine uncertainty or frightened by flu. Perhaps you're just finding that the sadness creeps in a little earlier of an evening when the nights start to draw in at 4pm.
We're here for you.
That's why we're bringing back our Wonderful Winter Wellness programme. It's a series of events, publications and activities designed to lighten the darkest months.
We know that the word "Wellness" can sound a bit hippy dippy - but it's actually just about taking action to protect your physical and mental wellbeing. Whether that's about feeling more informed about vaccine information, understanding the latest information around Covid and Flu, connecting with some friendly faces online for a Quiz of the Year, or revisiting some of our amazing wellness resources, such as our Sound Bath, or free online Yoga Class - we've got you covered.
