Amazing work to see our current 3rd year Worcester placement students running a community initiative, planned, evidenced and executed by them (and the brilliant Hannah!).... fantastic work! 🙌

💙 Movement, support and community at Cavendish Park.

Our monthly Parkinson’s Support Group was back in full swing, with student physiotherapists leading a gentle fitness session and spending time chatting, encouraging and getting involved with residents and members of the local community.

It was a positive session filled with movement, smiles and plenty of conversation, giving everyone the chance to take part at their own pace and enjoy being together.

We love seeing Cavendish Park bring people together in ways that support confidence, wellbeing and connection, both within the home and across our wider community.

A big thank you to the student physiotherapists for bringing such energy and encouragement to the session. 🧡

This is Community. This is Happiness. This is Cavendish Park.

What a fantastic time with Sonia Kumar MP yesterday!

She joined us for one of our exercise classes at the welcoming Gornal and Sedgley Team Ministry St Andrews Church, The Straits in Gornal...testing her balance, co-ordination and strength!

We had some great conversations with our participants on the impact of accessible community-based physiotherapy and maintaining health, in all it's definitions, as we age.

We discussed the importance of accessible community healthcare, the need for more AHP leadership at board levels and what we can do, as professionals, students and the public, to engage with our political representatives to push for change!

Key messages of collaboration, being proactive and resilience shone throughout our conversations, which are key values of Health Valued and traits we look to empower our partners and service users with too!

Our interview with Sonia will be available on our YouTube channel soon!

On Monday myself and Oasis Warndon Community Hub lead Hannah were invited to The University of Worcester 80th Anniversary dinner, receiving Highly Commended for Impact on Health and Social Care.

Firstly, thank you to our fantastic lecturer, supporter and nominator for this recognition. Michelle was there the first day me and Hannah had this off the cuff idea and has been one of our biggest fans, thank you for everything!

Thank you to the Oasis Warndon team for all of their support throughout this, what started as a 'what if' has led to over 150 free to access physiotherapy appointments, onward referral, health promotion and prevention, education and most importantly... people getting better! Thank you to the community for not only embracing us, but making us feel part of the gang ❤️

The last 18 months have been a 'pinch me' moment the whole time, something I thought was a decade away has unfolded in front of our very eyes, accessible community healthcare.

Over this time, Health Valued has and is still growing our community work:

- Supporting weekly enrichment activities at Darkhouse Baptist Church, to encourage and facilitate community engagement with their own health education

- Providing over 150 exercises and rehab classes across the West Midlands with Gornal and Sedgley Team Ministry, Sanctuary Supported Living and recently joined Zoar Church

- Working with Dudley Stroke Association to increase community rehabilitation capacity for service users across Dudley

- Sponsoring Wednesfield Aces CSC to support local teams, community groups and wellbeing

- Partnering with Kidderminster Foodbank , Oasis Hub Blakenhale and Cavendish Park Care Home and Sanctuary Supported Living to provide more accessible access to healthcare services

- We have had over 50 physiotherapy, occupational therapy and dietetic placement students from University of Worcester, University of Wolverhampton and Birmingham Newman University supporting and enhancing the delivery of our mission: accessible healthcare for all

We have so many exciting things to come, thank you to all of our partners, friends, family, mentors and community for supporting us and sharing our vision, this is a true representation of how communities can develop, overcome barriers and thrive from within through resilience, innovation and collaboration.
