Get outside, stay local

Locked down and local

Lockdown is hard. Harder than the summer. Let’s not pretend that it isn’t. Some of the challenges are common to us all. Others are unique to our own homes and families. And we don’t all have the same capacity to manage the challenges ahead of us – there is no one size fits all solution. But could time outdoors make it a little easier?

Join the GetOutside Challenge!

The outdoors is still open and our daily exercise during winter is more important than ever. Wrap up warm and enjoy frosty mornings exploring from your doorsteps. Mix up your local daily exercise with these ideas from the free GetOutside Challenge Calendar.

Look after your mental health this season
