Time for your weekly dose of happiness and wellbeing!

Yes, the Happy Hour is here and this week we're going to be learning about a mood disorder that could be affecting your wellbeing, sharing some happiness facts, and exploring some ways to get moving!

First, Hywel Davies hears how VI people can take to the court and give tennis a go thanks to Sense Charity's new Sensory Tennis sessions. 

Paulina speaks with RNIB Volunteer Shona Black about Paths for All, a project that is helping combat loneliness and get people outside and moving. 

And finally, counsellor Lindsay George tells us everything we need to know about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). What is it and what can we do to manage its symptoms during the colder months?
