APRIL – make this a month of hope
Hope you and your loved ones are keeping well. The impact these restrictions have on our freedom is quite phenomenal. Whatever our situation is we all need to remind ourselves to be thankful for what we have, this daily reminder is a great exercise in teaching us compassion and gratitude. We understand it is hard to remain positive *all the time*. We are allowed to be sad, fearful and anxious, we just must learn to not let these emotions consume us. If you are having difficulties during this time we are always here for you…..

Lots of local initiatives have popped up around the country encouraging volunteers to step forward and help in their community. From food banks to picking up prescriptions, people are making an effort to come together and help out if they can. Our nearest foodbank to the centre is at the Hope Centre: 118 Malham Rd, SE23 1AN Their website will tell you what foods they need and when they are open as some times are subject to change

BUY A TREATMENT FOR AN NHS WORKER
Every day we hear stories from the frontline NHS workers. Every day they continue to be shocking and upsetting. Without fail, our army of NHS workers show up every day caring for people battling the virus. When we come out the other side of this pandemic it will be our frontline workers who will bear the battle scars of being overworked, over stressed and overwhelmed. We, as a therapy centre would like to be there for the NHS when all this is over. Please consider donating any amount to funding massage and other therapy treatments to an NHS worker. Payments can be made through our sister community company called T4H (Therapy 4 Healing), follow the link below to donate.
