Mental Health Awareness Week 9th-15th May

Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point and it can have a huge impact on our wellbeing. It’s important to remember that these feelings can pass and that there are lots of ways we can help each other too.

Fancy a cuppa? Fancy a walk? Sometimes reaching out to each other with as little as three words can make a difference.

As part of the Better Health: Every Mind Matters campaign, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport are encouraging people to ‘Lift Someone Out of Loneliness’ by taking a simple action to help someone who may be feeling lonely. If we do this regularly, we can all help to lift each other up.

Find our how you can help to lift someone out of of loneliness.

Over 75 year olds – How to book your Spring Booster

The Spring Booster is the 2nd Booster dose of Covid Vaccine. You will already have had 2 primary doses followed by a 1st booster dose, and this will be your second booster dose (so in effect the Spring booster is your 4th vaccination).

Appointments are made through the NHS National Booking service or you can attend a local walk-in clinic (please take your NHS number).

Details of both can be found on this website: www.bnssghealthiertogether.org.uk/book-your-vaccine/covid/

The appointment dates you’ll be offered start from 3 months (91 days) after your previous dose but booking an appointment around 6 months after your previous dose is preferable.

If you need assistance, please call us on 0117 942 6811.
