🌿 Our clients recently took part in a two-hour guided ecotherapy walk led by Dr Will Tadros.

Meeting at Hilly Fields, the group enjoyed a steady-paced walk with time to reflect on their thoughts and practise mindfulness.

Feedback from the clients included how much they enjoyed the mediative aspect of the session and how calm they felt.

Dr Will Tadros will be running more sessions with us in the future, so keep an eye out! Fiona will be in touch with more information soon.

🩷 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
A time to raise awareness, encourage people to know their bodies and remind everyone to check for changes.

At our annual fashion show last month, every table had a copy of ’s Touch, Look, Check leaflet, giving our guests some information about checking their breasts.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK. While it is much rarer, men can be diagnosed with breast cancer too.

Around half of the people who come to The Nightingale for support have been diagnosed with breast cancer and many of our wonderful models have come to us following their own diagnosis.

That’s why it’s so important that both women and men know what is normal for them, are aware of the signs and symptoms and know how simple it can be to check for changes.

🔴 This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, take a few minutes to Touch, Look, Check.

We were pleased to be invited to have an awareness stand at
One-to-One Enfield's Autistic Voice in Healthcare Conference this week.

One-to-One visited The Centre last month to deliver an informative workshop to our team, helping us build our understanding of neurodiversity and autism and how we can make our support more inclusive.

It was great to continue that learning at the conference, hearing from and other brilliant speakers, while connecting with others who are working to improve experiences in healthcare.

Thank you to everyone at One-to-One for inviting us and for your ongoing support. We’re looking forward to learning more and making positive changes at The Nightingale.

Our first Men’s Cancer Group brought five men together, including one who had never been a Nightingale client before.

Led by our counselor Steve, it's a space for men affected by cancer to come together. There's no agenda. They are open to talk about anything on their mind; cancer related or not.

And while five might sound like a small number, we think it’s something worth celebrating.

Men can be less likely to seek support or talk openly about their health, so seeing five men choose to walk through the doors and start a conversation is a really positive step.

We’re so pleased to have created a space where they feel comfortable doing that and we can’t wait to welcome more men to the next group.
