Look! I'm at the labyrinth with Valeriia and Paddington. And @chaplain_lesley behind the camera. Making time for a few moments' quiet reflection and praying for peace. @UoSChaplaincy @UofSStudentHub

Our team enjoyed a short, low-level #HealthWalk around the beautiful @StirUni grounds at lunchtime, offering a chance to catch up, network and enjoy the benefits of #physicalactivity and connection to #nature to wellbeing. #GreenHealthWeek #EverydayWalking
