Staff and volunteers at The Myton Hospices were treated to a variety of activities during our third annual Health and Wellbeing Week!

 

As well as caring for patients and their families, we are also big believers in looking after ourselves! Making a change to your diet, regularly going for a short walk, or even practicing mindfulness can help us all to live better and cope with the stresses of life.
 

For one week in October...

Our staff and volunteers could give yoga a go, have a sports massage, find out about the Bowen Technique, take a dance class, get their flu jab, have a health check and much more!
