She said: "Mindful activities are so important and at times like this, even more so.

"Exercise, creativity and positive attitudes are more important now than ever. I haven’t started this but I’m keen to encourage anything that supports bringing the community together, encourages a positive mindset or just makes someone smile, it’s what we need right now."
