HAPPY NEW YEAR!
January is the time of year when many of us focus our efforts on breaking habits that no longer support us and strive to live a healthier lifestyle by eating better and incorporating exercise into our life. Dry January, zero consumption of alcohol, has been gaining traction over the years, especially post pandemic. Design & content by: Aileen Green. More information can be found by visiting the 'SUP Medway Fb page.
