We're delighted to be partnering with Hull Food Bank this year and we'd be grateful for any donations.

From now until the 12th September, donations can be made at your surgery to reception.

Unfortunately, demand for the Foodbank remains high, with many families across the city relying on its support due to ongoing cost-of-living pressures.

Know your numbers is a national campaign led by Blood Pressure UK, to increase awareness of the importance of blood pressure checking, monitoring and understanding what the numbers mean.

If you have not had your blood pressure checked and want your height/weight checked also, get booked in by contacting your GP surgery.
