New Year's Eve is historically the busiest night of the year for the Windsor Street Angels, although lockdowns have reduced the footfall in recent years it's a time where many find themselves vulnerable whether through low moods and loneliness or through enjoying themselves a little too much whilst out with their friends.
Whilst New Years Eve is just one night, 2022 has been a busy year where we have helped over 4000 people, supporting Royal Ascot as well as the night time economy in Windsor as well as important events like the Royal Funeral.

We have just had our lovely group of 70+ students get together for a Christmassy last 2022 session - gentle yoga with movement and always lots of laughs, plus tea and mince pies after! The group has grown really close, it's SO lovely to see. We look forward to having them back in 2023 as we continue the programme and will probably be able to step it up a little - the participants have become stronger and more mobile and want to challenge themselves to progress gently to be able to do more.
Happy Holidays to all,
Sandra

We launched out Soup Project in November with two sessions. They were a great sucess and we had 8 people attend each session, with a few taking soup away with them as well. It was lovely to cook alongside a range of people and share stories and ideas. We have tried some interesting flavours, which have inspired residents to try their own recipes (which we will be collecting for our recipe book).

So the reason it took a little longer to update here again was that I had put together a feedback from - and hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak!
Here is a sample of what our lovely 70+ yogis said about the Limited Mobility Yoga (more will be in the case study):
Why did you start yoga?
I wanted to try a form of exercise I could cope with which would help my body and mind
Needed easier movement exercise after recovering from breast cancer
