Community Corner August 2024

We’re excited to announce that our service has officially launched at the Earl’s Court Health and Wellbeing Hub (2b Hogarth Road, SW5 0PT). Along with Navigation appointments, we’ll now be hosting weekly wellness events from this location, making it easier for patients from nearby practices to access our programs. Our service at Violet Melchett will continue as usual. 

Navigation support – every Friday (appointment only)

From 10am to 4pm every Friday, we will provide appointment-based Navigation support at Earl’s Court. Patients can book an appointment by calling or emailing us directly, and we also welcome referrals from practices and services providers via Joy. Please note that due to space limitations at Earls Court Health and Wellbeing Hub, we are currently unable to offer a drop-in service at this location.

Wellness events – every Tuesday

We’re thrilled to introduce our Tuesday wellness events at Earl’s Court! These events will mirror our popular Thursday sessions at Violet Melchett, offering a range of activities designed to promote health and wellbeing. The events are free, open to all, and patients can register in person, by phone, email, or via our Eventbrite. Practices and services are also welcome to register on behalf of their patients. Attached are posters for two of our upcoming events, which you are welcome to circulate.

Tuesday 27th August 1:30-3:30pm   

Wellbeing Workshop: Wellbeing through art

Psychological practitioners from Community Living Well hold a workshop about how art can be used to promote wellbeing, and share practical tips on how you can engage with art. We are lucky to be hosted by the Mosaic Rooms for this event (though we are still meeting at Earl’s Court HWH).

Tuesday 3rd September 10am-12pm  

Mindful Movement Morning

Join us for some tea and chair yoga led by, one of our new Neighbourhood Navigators, Georgia! Connecting conscious breath with mindful movement improves flexibility and strength, helping to release tension in your muscles and joints and reduce stress.

We look forward to continuing to support your patients and expanding our reach in the community through these new services. 

Best wishes,

The Community Corner Team
