Tai Chi at Positive Tools 4 Life Wellbeing Day 2019

by

Dao Lu will be at a local charity’s Wellbeing Day – read about it at https://www.positivetools4life.co.uk/wellbeing-day-2019/ – it’s at the Walthamstow Assembly Hall, on Saturday 10th August, from 11am to 4pm.

It’s an exciting event – all tables have been sold, and last year’s event was a huge success. See the video above – which was shot in a smaller venue.

Positive Tools 4 Life is a community-based, volunteer-run organisation aiming to support people in Waltham Forest and Barking & Dagenham suffering from stress, anxiety and depression by providing low-cost counselling and affordable wellbeing workshops and classes.

We will have a table from 11am to 4pm – to give out leaflets, information on our classes and to run a slideshow/video of our training.

From 1.30pm there will be a half hour join in session on the grass outside the Assembly Hall.

Volunteers needed for the table and to help with the join-in session. Please let us know if you can be there, or just turn up whenever you can!
