20 min
- Plan a small day out
Choose somewhere within an hour, one thing to see there, and a day this month. Write it on the calendar.
20 min
- Go away for one night
For people who look after someone: one night somewhere else, arranged with care, so you can come back rested.
30 min
- The appointment journey, planned the day before
Ten minutes the day before a hospital or clinic visit can make the journey calmer: the route, the time, the bag and the entrance.
15 min
- Find one step-free walk near home
A short, level route with benches and a place to turn back, so anyone can come, wheels and walking sticks included.
20 min
- A plan B for the weather
For any outing, choose a backup for rain and one for heat before you go, so the day bends rather than breaks.
10 min
- Ride the bus to the end of the line
Get on a local bus you have never taken and stay on until it stops. A window seat, a new part of town, and home again for the price of a fare.
90 min
- Ask for help with the journey
Many trains, buses, stations and airports offer free help for people who need it, but you usually have to ask, and often ahead.
15 min
- A medicines bag for the journey
Everything you need to stay well while away, in one bag that stays with you rather than in the suitcase.
15 min
- Walk to the market for one thing
Go to a local market or a small shop on foot, buy one thing you would usually get at the big store, and look around while you are there.
