Meet Simon – Helping You Take Control of Your Health 🫀

Ever wondered what happens at a Better Health MOT? Simon shared why he loves delivering health checks; and it’s all about making a real difference.

"Taking the blood sample is my favourite part as its a unique service you won’t usually find outside a medical setting. Even better is being able to give participants clear, personalised results they can take straight to their GP, helping them fast track the support they need, if they need it."

One standout moment for Simon was a conversation with a participant whose goal was weight loss to help manage high cholesterol – but their body composition results showed weight wasn’t the issue. Instead, family history played a role, helping guide the right, personalised next steps.

Every bit of feedback has been positive – people really value the insight, reassurance and direction they gain.

👉 Take control of your health today and book your Better Health MOT – it could make all the difference.

Need a place to keep cool this summer? 🌞

When temperatures rise, finding a comfortable place to escape the heat is important for everyone. Better's Cool Spaces initiative offers welcoming venues where you can take a break, stay hydrated, and cool down safely.

Whether you're out and about, working, or just looking for a comfortable place to relax during hot weather, find your nearest Cool Space here 👉 https://brnw.ch/21x4Jm0

Please check in on family, friends, neighbours, and anyone who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

We're delighted to share that Ruth and Karen recently completed Panathlon training, developing their skills and knowledge to deliver even more inclusive and engaging activities within our community programmes. 🎯

Panathlon specialises in providing sporting opportunities for people with disabilities and additional needs, helping ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of being active, regardless of ability.

The training has equipped Ruth and Karen with new ideas, games, and approaches that will help make our sessions even more accessible, inclusive, and fun for all participants. 🏅⭐

We're looking forward to incorporating these activities into future sessions and continuing to create welcoming environments where everyone can take part, build confidence, and enjoy being active together.

Well done, Ruth and Karen! 👏

Our team have clocked up an incredible 25 miles this morning as part of Finnie's Relay! 🚴💚

Today's leg saw the team cycle from Kendal to Lancaster Castle, adding another 25 miles to Finnie's incredible journey around Better Leisure facilities across the UK throughout the Commonwealth Games.

Finnie has now joined the Better Preston team and is making his way to Fulwood Leisure Centre as the relay continues. Wishing everyone taking on the next leg the very best of luck!

From a fancy dress fitness class and raffle to face painting, a bouncy castle afternoon, and a coffee morning, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and took part. Your generosity and enthusiasm made this fundraiser a huge success. Together, we've made a real difference! 💚

Last month, we teamed up with Age Friendly South Lakeland and Lions Clubs International Kendal to distribute emergency pill bottles across the local area.

These simple but potentially life-saving bottles contain an information sheet where you can record important medical and emergency contact details. Once completed, the bottle should be kept in your fridge or another easily identifiable location within your home.

In an emergency, the emergency services know to look for these bottles, helping them quickly access important information when it matters most.

We were delighted to see them so warmly received by members of our Chatter Matters groups in both Kendal and Ulverston.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in helping to keep our communities informed, connected and supported.
