Keep Learning

Our theme for spring is ‘Keep Learning’. Learning new things and developing our skills is really important for our health, wellbeing, and social lives. However, learning doesn’t always mean going back to school or taking exams. There are many different ways—both big and small—to keep learning and growing.

We encourage you to think about what you’d like to learn more about. Perhaps you want to develop a completely new skill, like painting, drawing, dancing, or trying a new sport. Maybe you’re brushing up on a language, revisiting an old hobby, or learning about the wildlife in your area. You might even be perfecting a baking recipe!

There are many reasons why learning is important:

• It keeps our minds active and engaged. When we learn, new connections form in the brain. These connections help improve our memory, mood, and problem-solving skills.
  
• It opens up social opportunities. Learning a new skill or hobby can introduce us to new people and friendships. For example, playing a new sport allows us to meet teammates, while joining a baking club connects us with fellow bakers who can share tips and tricks on how to bake the perfect fairy cakes!

Our journal, available in all services, includes great ideas to help us keep learning. It offers tips, prompts, and space to record our progress while exploring new interests.

Learning comes in many shapes and forms, and everyone learns at their own pace. That’s why we’d love to hear from you! Tell us about the skills, hobbies, or topics you’re exploring. Email communications@creativesupport.co.uk with your updates, and we’ll share your learning journey on Creative Support’s social media!
