Comms Unplugged - Giving is good for you

By Georgia Turner

Recognised as one of the five contributory factors in strengthening your personal wellbeing, giving has long been known to make you feel good.

At Comms Unplugged, as well as an awesome speaker line-up, we’re committed to a meaningful wellbeing offer as integral to our programme, with activities and tips to help you refresh and reinvigorate. We believe in the power of nature and fresh air to help us really connect with ourselves and each other – that’s why our learning environment is a field in Dorset!

So it’s no surprise that we build a opportunity for giving into our programme – in the form of a raffle with all proceeds to Dorset Wildlife Trust and Dorset Mind.

So, when you join us in that field, please make sure you dig deep, and buys as many tickets as you can. You’ll be helping two fantastic charities that embody the Comms Unplugged ethos, and you might just win one of these amazing prizes:
