Service Update - Dortothy House - July 2022

Bereavement Help Points and support groups provided by Dorothy House and partners

The Bereavement Help Point (BHP) is a community based drop-in service, welcoming anyone who has suffered a bereavement. It’s a space to meet and talk with others who may be experiencing similar thoughts and feelings. 

Last year Dorothy House joined forces with Carer Support Wiltshire to jointly run new Bereavement Help Points in Wiltshire. Together we run BHPs in Devizes, Chippenham and Corsham and Dorothy House runs BHPs in Shepton Mallet and Malmesbury. Trained by Dorothy House, volunteers at Bereavement Support Keynsham also now offer group support. 
 
Bereavement Help Points are free with no referral required and no time limit on attendances. Please signpost your patients, their families and carers and click here to find more information on our website. 
 
For all referrals to Dorothy House and any enquiries regarding our services, please phone 0345 0130 555

Weight Management with Bath Rugby!

 

Move with Bath: Bath Rugby and Wiltshire Council free weight loss and fitness programme for men

Healthy Us at Wiltshire council and Bath Rugby are offering a free 12-week weight loss and fitness programme designed specifically for men.

It is open to men living in Wiltshire aged 18 or over, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above (BMI 27.5 or above for BAME participants).

Warminster RFC- Every Monday 6:30-8:00pm from 4th April to 27th June 2022 (No session on 18th April Easter Monday)

What does the course involve?

The sessions involve exercises suitable for all and touch rugby games run by Bath Rugby Foundation coaches. The course also includes interactive sessions with a health improvement coach, covering topics on nutrition, portion sizes, eating out, behaviour change and how to maintain healthy habits for life.

Participants will be supported to improve their diets, to exercise safely and improve their overall health and wellbeing. It is an exciting opportunity for those who want to kickstart or continue their weight loss journey with a team focused on keeping exercise fun and providing the tools for healthy eating!

To get the most out of the course it is expected that participants attend at least 9 sessions, and a weight measurement will be taken each week (all information will be kept confidential and not shared).
