All Health and Wellbeing

Public Health England (PHE) announces an HIV Prevention Innovation Fund for 2016 to 2017 of up to £600,000 for local prevention initiatives. The Fund will support local projects that offer new and innovative ways of delivering HIV prevention, aiming to turn around the ever increasing numbers of new HIV diagnoses among certain groups of the population.

Depression and low mood affects many of us at some point in our life. It can lead to feeling down and low in our self, getting little or no pleasure out of life, no energy or motivation, poor concentration, having negative thoughts, not knowing what to do and feeling isolated, trapped and stuck. The Positivity and Wellbeing group is here to help.

Do you work or work or volunteer in South Manchester? If so, why not become a Community Explorer? This is an opportunity to network with people and services who work across south Manchester.

Community Explorers are working in partnership with South Manchester CCG to map out community groups, services and buildings that offer support to local people. The idea is to use local assets more effectively to improve health and well-being.

Hundreds of people from across Greater Manchester will be remembering their loved ones as part of a very special appeal this Spring, in support of local charity St Ann’s Hospice.

The Forget-Me-Not appeal gives people the chance to receive a special wooden keepsake and, if they wish, to attend a service to remember friends or family members they can no longer be with, whilst making a donation to St Ann’s.
