Team Grove has completed 200 miles in just 15 hours over three days for Children in Need! 🚴‍♂️💛

A huge thank you to everyone who cheered us on, donated, took a turn on the bike, and supported us throughout — we couldn’t have done it without you all. 🙌

An extra special thank you to Breckland Leisure Centre for supplying the bike and helping make this challenge possible. 💛

🩺🔍 Worried you could be at risk of type 2 diabetes? A few changes in your family history, lifestyle or symptoms might mean a lot.
Here’s what to keep in mind:

• 👪 Family history matters – If a parent, sibling or relative has diabetes, your own risk goes up.
• 🍔 Lifestyle factors count – Being overweight, inactive or having higher waist size can all raise risk.
• 🚩 Symptoms might be subtle – Increased thirst, tiredness or needing to wee more may be signs.
• 📊 Want to know your risk? Try this tool: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start
• 📖 More reading on what to expect and why this matters: https://patient.info/diabetes/diabetes-mellitus-leaflet

It doesn’t mean diabetes is inevitable - taking action now could make a real difference. 💪

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us yesterday! 🙌

We covered over 65 miles on Day 1 — what a ride! 🚴‍♂️
Unfortunately, our bike had a technical fault, but a huge thank you goes to the amazing team at Breckland Leisure Centre ,Thetford, who came to the rescue and delivered us a replacement bike this morning. 💛

We can’t thank them enough for helping us keep our challenge going!

Day 2 kicks off at 10am — come down and cheer on the cyclists!
Every bit of support (and every donation) makes a difference — all in aid of Children in Need. 🧡

🚴‍♀️ The Grove Surgery Team are Cycling for Children in Need! 🚴‍♂️

Over the next three days, our amazing team will be using their own time to cycle on a static bike right here in the surgery — aiming to cover a virtual 200 miles from Thetford around the Norfolk Coast! 🌊

We’re doing this to raise money for Children in Need, and every donation, big or small, will make a real difference to young lives. 💛

💡 Please note: The team are completing this challenge in their own time, so no appointment numbers have been reduced.

If you’d like to support us, please donate and cheer us on as we pedal our way around Norfolk for a fantastic cause! 🙌

🥂✨ Not drinking? That’s a valid choice - and one worth celebrating.

is about creating a space where everyone feels comfortable with their own decisions, whether they drink or not.
Some people are cutting back for health, others are taking a break, and some simply don’t enjoy it - and that’s okay 💬🧃

👂 How can we be more supportive?
✔️ Respect someone’s choice without questioning it
✔️ Offer non-alcoholic options
✔️ Keep social events welcoming for everyone

💙 It’s Anti‑Bullying Week 2025: Power for Good! Time to stand up, speak out, and build kinder communities 🌟

Bullying can happen anywhere: in schools, workplaces, online, even in organisations up and down the ladder. It affects everyone.

Here’s how we can make a difference together:
👫 Be an ally, not a bystander - if you see something, say something
🏫 In schools: encourage safe spaces, peer support, and open dialogue
💼 In workplaces & organisations: promote respect, zero tolerance, and clear reporting structures
🗣️ Share stories, challenge harmful behaviour, and support those who feel alone

🌫️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month is here - and this year, we’re shining a light on the connections between lung health, coughs, and family cancer history.

A persistent cough might be dismissed as a cold or heart issue — but sometimes, it’s more than that. If it lingers, gets worse, or you have other symptoms, get it checked.

Key point: family history of cancer doesn’t only mean the same cancer you have. When your doctor asks, they mean any cancer your relatives have had. This information can help assess your risk and guide decisions.

👉 https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/inherited-cancer-genes-and-increased-cancer-risk/family-history-and-inherited-cancer-genes

Stay alert to changes, know your family history, and speak up for your lung health 💨

🧠🌀 Feeling overwhelmed? Stress isn’t just “part of life” — it can affect your body, mind and behaviour in real ways.

Here’s what you might experience:
✔️ Physical: headaches, muscle tension, stomach issues, chest‑racing heartbeats
✔️ Mental: trouble concentrating, making decisions, constant worrying
✔️ Behavioural: irritability, sleep too much or too little, eating changes, pulling away from others

When stress becomes long‑term, it can lead to burnout — extreme exhaustion, cynicism, reduced performance.

You don’t have to cope with it alone.
