Anxiety and stress are one of the two main factors that are prevalent in the UK. At Clippy’s we believe we can help to elevate people's stress by combining fun filled activities centred around food, chat and a convivial environment - building habit strategies in order to carry on what they’ve learnt and bring it back to the workplace/community which then helps others to develop healthier food and lifestyle habits.
