A State of Mind session was delivered in Leigh Infirmary on Thursday this week to celebrate the opening of the 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s Health and Well-being Centre (H&WB Centre)
Danny Sculthorpe and Will Stringer joined Dr. Phil Cooper (co-founder) of State of Mind to deliver the first of 5 sessions across the 5 Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust over the next few weeks
The H&WB Centre is based at Hollins Park hospital and is open to all staff from all boroughs, as well as service users
· It is a one-story building set in the ground of Hollins Park, behind the De La Mare restaurant.
· The centre has a gym with a range of equipment including treadmills, exercise bikes, cross trainers and weights
· It also features a separate room for occupational health sessions and activity classes
· It has male, female and disabled changing/shower facilities
· The gym is now open for existing members and will be available to new members when it is officially launched in the next few weeks (not sure of exact date yet!)
· All staff will need to have an official induction before they can use the gym
· The centre is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to cater for staff working night shifts.
Being active can help keep you mentally fit
The next session will take place at Hollins Park Education Centre when Ernie Benbow, League 13 (Super League Players Association) Chief Executive Officer will be joining the team to make his debut alongside Danny Sculthorpe, Jimmy Gittins and Will Stringer
