Welcome to your July health and Wellbeing update. The team have been very busy working hard to try and change the way some of our services operate so that we can continue to offer sessions and courses to help you improve your health and wellbeing.
This month sees the return of our Weight Off Workshop (WOW) so if you're someone who has has indulged a little too much lately or perhaps you've always wanted to lose weight but never quite stuck at it then our WOW course could be for you! We also welcome back our Outdoor Fitness sessions, now for groups of just 5 people, these are perfect for anyone who is looking to start getting active.
We have also introduced a brand new service for 2020, the Wellbeing Package!
We have introduced a brand new comprehensive Wellbeing Package.
At Horsham District Wellbeing we recognise that there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to staying healthy.
The new Wellbeing Package looks more closely at three different areas of health and wellbeing and is offered via phone or video call.
Find out how this service can help you take control of your health and wellbeing.

Staying safe in hot weather
Hot weather can cause heat exhaustion in people and animals. It is important to make sure you and those you care for are suitably hydrated.
Dehydration can cause significant health problems, particularly in the elderly. They may be unaware of becoming overheated and not drinking enough liquids to stay hydrated.
If you are worried about the summer heat, you can find information and tips through AgeUK on how to stay cool in summer.

What's keeping you awake?
Sleep plays a critical role when it comes to maintaining positive mental health, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
More than 4 in 10 Brits are experiencing more sleep problems than usual due to the pandemic.
Getting a good night’s sleep can be critical to maintaining good mental wellbeing. Worries can contribute to sleep problems and longer stretches of poor sleep can start to affect our lives by causing extreme tiredness which makes usually manageable tasks harder.
To help you sleep better, visit Every Mind Matters to access simple NHS advice for getting a good night’s sleep.
Our Wellbeing advisors can give you advice and support on improving your sleep. Get in touch for a one to one appointment.
