Movember officially begins today!

It's a great opportunity to shine a light on men's physical and mental health.

From checking in with a friend to seeking medical advice when something doesn't feel right, small actions can make a big difference.

Thursday, October 29, 2026, is World Psoriasis Day

Psoriasis is more than just a skin condition. It can affect confidence, comfort and everyday life.

The theme for World Psoriasis Day 2026 is “Look Beyond My Skin,” with a special focus on young people and young adults living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

We want everyone to recognize the person behind the disease, to listen to their experiences, take them seriously and embrace them for who they are.💜

Are you struggling with the cost of living?

The winter months can be tough. There is winter heating, higher household bills, and Christmas to think about too ❄️

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (2025) found that last winter, half of low-income households had to go without heating, with a huge number of people getting into debt to pay for essentials.

If you are struggling with the cost of living and need some support, please reach out. Alsager Community Supportt have a fantastic team of volunteers who could support you with household bills, budgeting, debt, benefits and entitlements, and other cost-of-living pressures 📝

🚭 Did you know a Carbon Monoxide (CO) reading can show the impact smoking is having on your body in just a few minutes?

A CO reading is a quick, simple, breath test that measures the level of carbon monoxide in your system, giving you a clear picture of how smoking is affecting your health. Many people find seeing their results is a powerful first step towards quitting.

As part of Stoptober, you can get a FREE CO reading at upcoming community events and chat with the One You Cheshire East team about the support available through their Be Smoke Free programme.

View Stoptober events and find a location near you: https://www.oneyoucheshireeast.org/stoptober-2026/?fbclid=IwY2xjawVCz6pleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mAWJyaWQRMGRpdlNNaEdBSHFRSVpENG1zcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEefMNJn5UP-4_8IaesuXVlO4Dxbny0-_TocdOin5gdMOyI4BUOOSkLixQhNvY_aem_hzhiSA_atV6I2EtJ_1nQdg

You know how many ci******es you smoke, but do you know how much carbon monoxide you take in? Come and join us at one of our breathe easy, free carbon monoxide screening events to help see what is happening inside your body.
