A LITTLE SUPPORT THROUGH THE DARKER MONTHS
Winter can be hard.
Let’s get through
it together.
Light Club is a free daily check-in for the darker months. Try a manageable activity, like a short walk or a gentle stretch, and check in with your club. A small way to keep going through winter together.
Free to use. Join locally, or start with people you know.
TODAY’S SMALL STEP
A short walk.
At your pace.
A few minutes is a place to start.
Staying in? Try a gentle stretch instead.
AN EXAMPLE, NOT ANOTHER THING TO GET PERFECT.
ONE SMALL THING AT A TIME
Small steps for
the harder days.
Take one small step.
Try a manageable activity, like a short walk or gentle stretch. Then add your daily check-in. A small step counts.
Share the progress.
Local clubs show collective check-in totals. Private clubs show your group’s check-ins, with optional sharing of your own progress to WhatsApp.
A SHARED WINTER, A LITTLE CLOSER TO HOME

Read the private club starter guideWhat is Light Club, exactly?
A free web app for small daily check-ins through winter. Right now, you can create a private group with people you know, try short activities and see your group’s check-ins. Larger local clubs are planned.
When can I check in?
The current daily check-in closes at 9 AM London time. After that, you can still try the activity in practice mode. We’re reviewing this timing as the product develops.
What if I miss a day?
Come back when you can. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, and you don’t need a perfect run of check-ins to take part.
How does WhatsApp fit in?
You can open WhatsApp to share a private invitation or your own progress. You choose where it goes and send it yourself. Light Club doesn’t read your chats or automatically post to a group.
Is this support for seasonal affective disorder?
Light Club offers shared activities and encouragement, not diagnosis or treatment. If winter is affecting your mood or daily life, the NHS explains seasonal affective disorder and when to speak to a GP.
