Ladies Fun, Laughter and Wellbeing Wednesdays
The staff at Galton Valley Children?s Centre based in Smethwick were particularly eager to start-up a wellbeing programme in their area, and we begun an 8 week ?Ladies Fun, Laughter and Wellbeing Wednesdays? programme on the 28th January.
The programme was put together based on the Children?s Centres knowledge of their community, and the target groups they wanted to reach out to and attract.
All the sessions proved to be extremely popular, and we consistently had between 10-15 ladies attend the sessions. Galton Valley did a fantastic job in marketing the workshops, supporting the ladies that attended the sessions by offering childcare for the duration of the sessions, and supporting us in our evaluation and monitoring.
As a result of the success of the first programme, Galton Valley have already asked us to return for another…
October begun with a re-launch of our Books on Prescription service. We extended the book selections with an additional 30 titles, and have included 4 talking books that now cover a much broader range of topics. This has proven to be a very popular service, with 1000?s of book issues in it?s first year of running.
Obviously we didn?t get everything right the first time, but we learned a lot from these first workshops! We would like to thank everyone who contacted us to tell us about your preferred times, days and venues that would have made some of the workshops more convenient and accessible. And also a big thank you to everyone who attended the workshops and took time to complete our feedback and evaluation forms.
