We delivered three information sessions about the HPV vaccination programme sponsored by the NHS for our charity.
Learners were very interested in finding out how to protect their children and themselves from various cancers. Since we now know that one in every two people will develop some kind of cancer during their lifetime, it is vital that we do all we can to prevent this disease.
Five learners enjoyed the beautiful weather on our Walk & Talk last week. Masha introduced us to the wonderful York House Gardens and to her favourite tree which was in full bloom. This mimosa tree is not only the symbol of the arrival of spring in Russia but also the flower used to celebrate International Women's Day on the 8th of March!
We were delighted to see the attached information board produced by Alison Greenwood of the Dose of Nature charity.
Michelle Wheeler gave us an inspiring and informative presentation on the Mulberry Centre.
We learned about the wide range of services which are offered to anyone affected by cancer by this amazing centre.
Michelle explained that relatives and friends of cancer sufferers can come to the centre for emotional support, complementary treatments and relaxation both indoors and outside in their lovely garden.
Alison Greenwood enchanted us all with her workshop about her charity. She decorated the room with bunches of flowers from her garden and supervised a delightful meditation session which all 17 participants enjoyed.
Lee Barbieri once more delivered a useful presentation about the services offered by Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College Information, Advice and Guidance (RHACC IAG). He has offered to come again to give one-to-one advice to learners during our class.
