The Leacroft Community Hub has a team of Practice Health Champions (PHC’s for short!) who volunteer their time, ideas, and enthusiasm to organise and run activities and sessions with a view to:

• Meet the social requirements of our patients by providing the support and connection people need to improve their own health
• Enable Leacroft and patients to find new ways of working together; make a difference in our patient’s lives and improve services through social interaction.

Evidence shows that patients involved in champion-led activities see significant improvements in mental health and wellbeing. Examples of solutions that the patient-led practice health champions have achieved across the country are: walking groups, book clubs, craft clubs, allotments, choirs, Christmas dinners for isolated patients, flu clinics and the formation of football teams leading to new friendships thus reducing isolation and loneliness.

Regular Activities:

• Last Tuesday of every month 10am – 11.30 am – Coffee morning at Leacroft Medical Practice
• First Wednesday of every month 2pm – 3.30pm – Afternoon tea at Revive Cafe, Charis Centre, West Green
• Every Thursday 10am – Social stroll

We are restricted on numbers of attendees and therefore we ask that you book your place in advance at reception.

Health walks will continue to take place every Thursday at 10:00 and do not require booking.

All sessions will be advertised on the waiting room notice boards in our patient newsletters and via our social media channels.

If you have any questions or want to know a little more and meet the PHC team please do come along to one of our activities.
