We’re so proud of Emma Little; if she can do it on a misty morning, you can…come and join her (and so many encouraging and friendly people) and have an hours wander along a flat trail surrounded by beautiful countryside and with 2 coffee options along the way.

Emma said “My first Park run at
It's made me feel really good and met some lovely people. I've been trying to get motivation, but one thing or another I put it off.
I have to thank Dr Penny Blackwell from
Hannage Brook Medical Centre.
For the courage and motivation to get out and enjoy the fresh air meet new people. Thank you to Cindy for staying with me thought ❤️
Looking forward to next Saturday 😀”

You might even get to walk with a tailwalker who is wearing an actual tail 😊

Think about who you could connect with this weekend. Say hi to someone in the shop. Smile at someone walking past the window. A quick thank you to the postman. Have a wander, if you’re able, up to Black Rocks parkrun…any connection is a positive for your mental health. And if you know of someone who is physically or emotionally isolated, help them connect by you connecting first. You literally could be the difference in someone’s next day

Humans aren’t built to cope alone. Connection helps regulate our emotions, reduces stress, and reminds the brain that we are safe.

Sometimes healing starts with simply not being alone.

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day — a moment to recognise the achievements, strength, and contributions of women everywhere.

At Hannage Brook, we are proud to work alongside so many incredible women who care for our patients and support our community every day. In our clinical team, reception and admin and managers, women play a vital role in delivering compassionate, high-quality care.

We also want to acknowledge the women in our community — patients, carers, mothers, daughters, colleagues and friends — whose resilience, tenacity, creativity and contributions make a difference every day.

This year’s theme reminds us that while progress has been made, there is still more to do to achieve equality and improve health outcomes for women everywhere (https://www.peopleshealthtrust.org.uk/news/blogs/international-womens-day-2026)

Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women in our team and our community.
