💜 A Big Thank You to Hetton New Dawn 💜

This week saw the final session of our funded wellbeing project with the members of Hetton New Dawn Lunch Club.

Thanks to support from the Coalfield Area Committee Community Chest, HOPS has delivered four free therapy sessions, providing over 50 holistic massage treatments to local older people.

Many attendees live with long-term health conditions and ongoing aches and pains, so it has been wonderful to offer some relaxation and support alongside the friendship and social connection that the lunch club provides.

A huge thank you to the staff and volunteers at Hetton New Dawn for making every session run so smoothly and for the warm welcome they've given our team throughout the project.

We've received some fantastic feedback from attendees and are delighted with the positive impact the sessions have had. We hope to secure further funding in the future and would love the opportunity to return.
Thank you to everyone who took part – we've really enjoyed being part of your lunch club! 💜

Today we delivered our third wellbeing session at Sunderland Carers Centre offering carers the opportunity to enjoy some time for themselves through holistic therapies and relaxation.

As this session took place during Carers Week, it felt especially fitting to recognise and thank carers for everything they do. Their dedication, compassion and support often go unseen, and we're pleased to have been able to offer a small opportunity for rest and wellbeing.

One carer shared: ✨ "Great experience, I've never had Reiki before. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try this and experience the relaxation."

A big thank you to the friendly and welcoming team at Sunderland Carers Centre who have helped facilitate all three sessions.

While this was our final session in the current programme, we hope to be back soon with more treatments and relaxation opportunities for local carers!
