If you want to live a fulfilling life , who you spend your time with is far more important than how you spend your time. Sharing quality time with family and friends is vital to our sense of well-being and can directly contribute to our health. Here are ten different ways to spend an evening together with others.
1. Have a cookout
One of the most popular ways to spend time with family and friends is a good old fashioned cookout. The atmosphere is intimate yet casual. Decide who will host the party, then ask everyone to bring a part of the shared meal.

Rachel Hamilton, 27 from Exeter, is a Hospiscare staff nurse and has been working for the local charity on the ward at Searle House for two years. At the end of 2018 Rachel married Ben Turner who also has connections to Hospiscare volunteering as a Trustee.
The wedding took place at Dartington Hall at Christmas and as Rachel is a member of the Hospiscare Choir it seemed only natural to ask the Choir to sing during their ceremony. Rachel who has always loved singing, joined the Hospiscare choir’s soprano section as soon as she became a Hospiscare nurse.
Hospiscare’s annual Coffee Morning event is now under way. Throughout the area, people are signing up to raise funds for the local charity by holding coffee mornings in their homes, community halls and even their local parks. Businesses, too, are getting ready to bake and boil for Hospiscare.
