Yesterday, we had the pleasure of visiting Her-Place Charitable Trust alongside a range of local health and community services and what an inspiring experience it was! 💜

Her-Place is a welcoming, supportive space that does incredible work within our community, helping people connect, access support, build confidence, and improve wellbeing. The passion and dedication of everyone involved is truly amazing.

If you've never visited before, we'd highly recommend popping in and seeing what they have to offer. You can find them at:

📍 Unit 7, Victoria Centre, Crewe, CW1 2PU

You can learn more about this wonderful trust via their website.

Your eyes need a break too. 👀

Whether it's a laptop at work, a phone on the sofa or a tablet at home, it's easy to spend hours looking at a screen without thinking about our eyes.

Taking regular breaks can help give your eyes some much-needed time away from the screen. Try looking away into the distance regularly, blinking often and stepping away from your device when you can.

This year's National Eye Health Week is also highlighting dry eyes and their links with screen use, alongside other factors such as ageing and contact lens wear.

So, next time you're reaching for your phone, ask yourself… could your eyes do with a break?

If you're living with sight loss and need advice, information or support, East Cheshire Eye Society is here for you. Get in touch with ECES to find out how we can support you by calling 01625 422602 or emailing [email protected].
