Mental Elf Wellbeing Challenge for Schools & Youth Groups

Calling all Lancashire School’s, Youth Zones and Clubs – join us for a very special festive wellbeing challenge.


Mental wellbeing is a normal part of daily life, in the same way as physical health. The benefits that physical exercise, time outdoors, mindfulness and community participation can have on mental wellbeing and happiness shows no limits.
