It’s no secret that keeping active both mentally and physically is vital to our wellbeing. Having a hobby in later life is key to mental stimulation, combatting social isolation, providing a sense of purpose and can help prevent the onset of cognitive conditions such as Dementia – doing something you love and with others who share that interest is one
of the best ways to keep your brain sharp and yourself happy.
