Yesterday might’ve been ‘Blue Monday’ — but we turned it BRIGHT! 🌈✨
We wore our boldest colours, and shared delicious dishes.
A little positivity goes a long way… and it definitely did! 💛😄

Mid-January slump feeling real? 😴
You’re not alone — short days, cold weather and fading New Year motivation can take their toll.
Be kind to yourself, take small breaks, get a bit of daylight where you can, and remember: doing something is better than doing nothing.

January is Walk Your Dog Month!
What’s your dog obsessed with?
Meet Tilly, who lives with one of our team members. Her true loves? Any kind of ball and splashing through puddles like it’s her job 💦
Don’t let those sub-zero temps get you down. Even a quick walk around the block can lift spirits, burn energy, and make tails wag.
Make it a pawsome start to the year!

🩺 Annual review – if we've contacted you, please do book in 🩺

If you’ve been invited for your annual review and haven’t booked yet, January and February are a great time to do it.

These check-ups are for people with long-term conditions such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, mental health conditions or learning disabilities. They help us check how you’re doing, review medications, keep an eye on things like blood pressure and weight, and arrange any tests needed.

Think of it as a health MOT – no judgement, just a helpful check to keep things running smoothly. If you’ve been invited, please get in touch to book. 💙
