REPORTS ON PAST EVENTS
Having seen out 2008 with our Christmas Ceilidh, 2009 has been a busy and productive year for the Centre.
Following the success of last year's events, we once again hosted a Healthy Body, Mind and Spirit Day at Morton Manor Community Centre on 25 April from 10.00am to 4.00pm, whcih raised over £900 for Therapy Centre funds. Many thanks got to everyone whose hard work made the days so enjoyable and productive and to those who came along, helping to support our work.
Cumbria
Community Awards 2007
We were narrowly
pipped at the post for this year’s Healthy Living Award,
sponsored by HF Holidays and Cumbria County Council. Iris
Rogan, our Chair, and Berni Green, the volunteer who kindly
nominated us, attended the Awards Ceremony at Rheged
Centre, Penrith on Thurs 1st Nov on behalf of our team of
volunteers, therapists and trustees.
All the runners-up were praised for their efforts and we
look forward to continuing to develop our healthy living
work over the coming year.
Out-Reach
Work
As well as reaching our 400th client at The Therapy Centre, we have been involved with outreach work outside the Centre.
Therapists have continued to work with local voluntary groups and charitable organisations to offer staff training workshops, taster treatments, talks and demonstrations. Recent contacts have included: Carlisle Mind, Making Space, Impact Housing, Carlisle Job Centre and Age Concern. We have also been out and about on a regular basis at local care homes in Carlisle and Brampton, offering therapies for both staff and clients.
Members of the team have also participated in consultations and discussions at health-related forums, with Cumbria Action for Health, Carlisle Partnership Community Health Network, Cumbria Mental Health Forum and Cumbria CVS.
