A group of residents Ireshopeburn and Upper Weardale have enjoyed the Wellbeing for Life (WBFL) Eatwise programme so much, that they’ve decided to continue meeting as a weekly social support group.
Meeting in Ireshopeburn Community Centre, the group was led by Wellbeing for Life Community Connector, Nicole Martin. Over the weeks, with Nicole’s encouragement and through the shared support as a collective, the group made steady progress towards each of their individual goals.
Nicole said of the group: “It’s been brilliant to see the group grow in confidence and support each other. They’ve not only made healthier choices but built friendships too — it’s what community wellbeing is all about.”
This story is a testament to not only the physical wellbeing that the Eatwise programme brings, but also the emotional and social support the group sessions can provide.
Wellbeing for Life is part of Adult Wellbeing Services and is delivered in partnership by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT) and the Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP).
