💓 February is Heart Month! 💓
A perfect reminder to show your heart some love — and one of the best ways to do that is through regular exercise. If you're joining HEART UK’s 10,000 Step Challenge, why not take a look at https://www.shropshiresgreatoutdoors.co.uk/ for some walking route suggestions.

🏃‍♀️Why it matters:
Staying active helps raise your good cholesterol (HDL) and lower the bad cholesterol (LDL). Even small increases in daily movement can make a real difference to your heart health. Walking increases your blood flow, helping oxygen and nutrients move around your body, making you feel more alert and refreshed. It can also release natural chemicals that make you feel happy and positive.

On World Cancer Day, let’s honour those we’ve lost, support those living with cancer, and raise awareness for better prevention and treatment options.

If you’re invited for cancer screening, don’t put it off. Screening finds cancer early—often before symptoms appear—giving you the best possible chance of successful treatment. Early detection saves lives.

The next Men Like Us cancer support group is TOMORROW (2-4pm) at St Peters Church Ludlow.

Children under six are now being offered the MMRV vaccine instead of MMR as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme.

This replaces the existing MMR vaccine and adds protection against chickenpox, alongside measles, mumps and rubella.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will contact you when your child is due.
