🌸 Women’s Health and Menopause (WHAM) walk and Talk – One Year On 🌸
Yesterday we celebrated one whole year of our WHAM Women’s Health and Menopause group, and the ladies decided the best way to mark it was with a gentle picnic in the park. It was such a lovely afternoon, full of connection, laughter and support.
Our WHAM walking group meets every Wednesday at South Park at 1pm. It’s a friendly, welcoming women’s walk and talk -just turn up dressed for the weather.
We also have our next Women’s Health and Menopause 6 week wellbeing programme starting in September.
A big thank you to all the ladies who came along today and to Dr Ashikodi from Whinfield Practice and Practice Manager Paul Conroy from Denmark surgery for joining us.
Here’s to another year of walking, talking and supporting women through the changes of life 🌼
Thanks, from Sharon, Wendy and Sham.

🏅Our absolutely wonderful receptionist Jennifer completed the Lake District Mighty Hike on Saturday.

A full marathon over hills, trails and tough terrain.

Jennifer raised money for Macmillan, an incredible charity raising funds for cancer, which unfortunately affects all of us in many different ways.

Jennifer has overcome this, and shown absolute, strength, grit and dedication, not through beating cancer & overcoming breast cancer herself, but through completing this mammoth challenge in an incredible time of 7 hours and 23 minutes, finishing 16th out of over 1750 participants!

We are absolutely in awe of you Jennifer, not for just completing this challenge, but for everything you have overcome in the last couple of years. You really are a wonder woman and we all adore you!!!!!!!!!
