Seeking a brilliant way to turn January's good intentions into a real and sustainable change?

We’re into the start of the New Year and that can only mean one thing - fulfilling your latest resolutions.

The beginning of the New Year can be a great time to make a few changes – especially if you’ve overindulged over Christmas.

For others, 2020 will be seen as a great time to turn over a new leaf and do something totally different.

Have you prepared a list of important lifestyle changes you may want to make?

If not, don’t despair; Maidstone YMCA is on hand to help.

While it rings true that some New Year resolutions are merely lofty goals that fall shy of their targets - sending people back to chocolates for comfort - it doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren't great places out there that offer exciting alternatives.
