OVER WYRE MEDICAL CENTRE The Front Room
and 2021.
As many of you will already know, The Front Room at the medical centre was set up as a communal space in May of 2019 inviting charities and organisations to our doorstep to help provide services and advice to our local community. During 2019, the service developed and hosted groups for chronic pain, children’s therapy, dementia and cancer advice. Local volunteers would utilise the space to host computer sessions, yoga sessions and relaxing therapies. We also held some successful events as fundraisers and Christmas celebrations. However, Covid came along and our vision lost its way.
Although we need to be mindful of ongoing social distancing and hygiene precautions, we feel that patients should benefit from The Front Room and these resources once again. We therefore announce a re-launch party of The Front Room on Fri 3rd Dec, 10:00am - 1:00pm. This is a sociable event welcoming local services to showcase their wealth of resources to the local community. Guests include: Lesley Crompton and Kerry Cousens from Wyre Borough Council, the MacMillan Team, Cat Smith, our local MP, the Blackpool Smile Chronic Pain group, Lancashire Volunteer Services, our very own social prescriber and many more.
We continue to live in a world where Covid remains prevalent, but it is clear to see that problems with mental health, wellbeing and loneliness have been exacerbated by the restrictions imposed upon us during 2020
