Every October, The Myton Hospices holds a Health and Wellbeing Week for staff and volunteers!

 

We believe it is important for everyone at Myton to look after themselves, and this also enables them to continue making Myton the amazing place it is! Our Health and Wellbeing Week gives everyone at Myton the opportunity to try something new and take some ‘me’ time.

 

People could sign up for yoga classes, stretching sessions, Virtual Reality, sports massage and a variety of relaxing services provided by the Zen Ten Spa. And there were workshops and talks on positive communication, mindfulness, performing CPR and using a defibrillator.
