John Broadbridge - PR Officer The first of which is our Fun Dog Show at St Piran’s Hall in 4 Bodriggy Surgery I would like to invite you to try out our Bodriggy Surgery Crafts Group, here in Hayle, which was originally set up through Arts for Health, but is now a self-run group. If you look around the surgery, you can see some of the work they have produced. The focus of the group is not on health problems you have, and you will not be expected to discuss your health or other issues. Instead you will find that spending time working in a small group being creative can boost your own health, mental well- being and self-confidence. Many adults have not explored their own creativity since primary school, whilst others have always used their creative skills. If you fit in anywhere between these two then think about giving it a go. A willingness to try new things or revisit forgotten skills is all that is required for you to join in. The group currently meets on Wednesday mornings in Phillack Church Hall from 10am - 12 noon. If you would like to find out more, you can speak to one of the group members, Patsy Opie on (01736) 759685 / 07929 329577. You can also bring someone with you if that helps – the more the merrier! Arts for Health is applying for a new round of funding. This is all being organised by the members themselves, which is an indicator of how successful the group has been – 5 one of them is off to India for 3 weeks in February, unimaginable prior to her joining. A big thank you to all patients who contributed to the Friends of Bodriggy Christmas raffle, this enabled the practice to purchase two Pulse Oximeters (to check SATS for babies and children) for the surgery.
