Do you want to make a change to your life and keep to the New Year’s resolutions you make for 2011?
If you said yes to either or both, then visit Thanet’s Gateway Plus this December, as they launch their New Year, New You campaign. It gets underway on Wednesday 1 December, with a range of health advisors on hand at the Gateway between 10am and 4pm. The scheme is a partnership between the Gateway, the NHS Health Trainers and other health and training providers.
There will be a variety of events going on throughout the day, including free fitness tests by Thanet Leisureforce. The day is completely free and you can drop in at any point. Other partners who will be available to give advice include the British Red Cross, Disability Drop in Centre, Stop Smoking Service, Carer’s Support, NHS Fit for Work, National Blood Service, SES Tutors and SET Training.
Gateway Manager, Stephen Meades, said: “The list of partners attending our New Year, New You event is growing all the time, so if you have any health concerns or want to gain some new skills, our partners will be able to offer you the support and guidance you need to make that change for 2011. If you can’t make it on Wednesday 1 December, don’t worry. Applications to join the Health Trainer programme can be made by either visiting Thanet’s Gateway Plus or by calling 08458 247 202.”
The NHS Health Trainers offer free and confidential support to help you make positive and healthy changes to your life. You can see a Health Trainer for up to six sessions to help encourage and motivate you and they can help develop your own skills to manage your health in the future. They can also help you access other health services, such as emotional wellbeing, exercise and healthy eating, sexual health concerns and stop smoking advice.
