What a morning!

We served 111 breakfasts, with guests, volunteers and staff speaking live throughout the morning on BBC Wiltshire's Wake Up Call with Ben Prater.

Thank you so much to the amazing groups that came to provide health advice including Big Brush Club, Change Grow Live, The Hepatitis C Trust, Xyla - Healthcare Services, Swindon Prostate Cancer Support Group, Voluntary Action Swindon (VAS), the wonderful ladies from the NHS providing blood pressure checks and advice, and Swindon Borough Council's Live Well Stop Smoking service and Rough Sleeper Team. Not to mention all of the support from Zurich Community Trust in setting up this event. (I hope we haven't missed anyone).

And, of course, a huge thank you to our amazing team of volunteers and staff who kept everything running so smoothly on such a busy and exciting morning.

If you missed the live show you can listen back on BBC Sounds - link in the comments, and you may also spot us on BBC Points West from 1:30pm and again from 6:30pm.

We are proud to support GP practices across Swindon and Shrivenham by offering extra appointments on a Saturday morning. These clinics make it easier to be seen at a time that suits you.

Here is some of the kind feedback we have recently received.

If you need an appointment, please contact your GP practice to find out what appointments are available.

Get protected this spring.

The RSV vaccine is available for adults aged 75 and over and adults living in a care home for older adults.

Many people eligible for the RSV vaccine will also be eligible for their spring COVID-19 vaccine.

If you are eligible for both a RSV vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine you can now book an appointment to receive these at the same time in some locations.

Speak with your GP to book or visit https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/book-covid-19-vaccination/

Feeling isolated or working remotely? A simple walk can be a great way to reconnect with others 🚶‍♀️🌿

Walking is not only good for your health, it’s also a simple way to build connection. Invite a friend, join a local group, suggest a walking meeting with colleagues, or simply say hello to a neighbour - small moments like these can really brighten your day 💛

Walking with others helps keep you motivated, makes the journey more enjoyable, and strengthens community bonds.

In the spirit of hashtag , we’re celebrating all the ways walking supports wellbeing and connection across our communities ✨

We also want to highlight our long-standing Walking Group, which meets every week:

📍 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
🕛 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 | 𝟏-𝟑𝐩𝐦

A quick note and thank you to those who spotted the timing error in yesterday’s post - the group runs from 1-3pm, not 12-3pm, and we’ve now updated this 💛

Everyone is welcome to join - come along, take a step with us, and enjoy the benefits of walking together 🚶‍♂️🌿
