Information for everyone

 


Hobbies and new skills?

Whatever stage in life you are at, you should be thinking of keeping your mind and body active. Having a hobby is a great way to help towards this, and also often gives the opportunity to socialise and make new friends. Another idea you may have is to develop new skills.

Maybe you are thinking of an active hobby like cycling, walking, or maybe a more relaxed outdoor activity like birdwatching.
Maybe you want to enjoy your garden more (in which case you'll want to read our advice on creating a garden pond!! )
 Or maybe you are thinking of an indoor hobby like coin collecting, or writing that novel that's in you? Or maybe you want to sign on for educational or training courses, or even take a degree!
Or maybe you just want to while time away watching your favourite DVD's (if so we've even got some tips on buying a DVD player!! )

Whatever you are thinking, we have plenty of information to get you started, with selected information sources giving you overviews of different hobbies and skills, links to organisations, and useful publications.
