Incredible Edible Marshland: July 2021
CHCP Foundation donated £500 towards the project organised by the Incredible Edible Marshland. The Wellbeing day took place at Garthorpe Village Hall on Saturday 30th October 2021.
Despite the torrential rain in the morning there was a steady flow of people attending this event throughout the day – men as well as women, a total of 36. A few children also attended with their parents.
The “wellbeing experts” were kept busy for the whole of the session and many visitors tried more than one taster. The experts consisted talked about all things yoga by a personal trainer; Ask a nutritionist; Finding calmness with a variety of crafts; Try a hot stone neck & shoulder massage; Ease yourself into Aromatherapy; Learning about herbs with a Medical Herbalist; Trying a short session of Reiki (A Japanese healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional wellbeing.);Building up the central core using the exercises from the local Serpafit club and a Card reader.
Lunch was provided courtesy of a local business and enjoyed by all.
We asked everyone who attended to complete a feedback form, all of which were positive and generally everyone would like to see this type of session repeated in the future. We are looking to do something for international women’s day next year. The businesses that attended all too gave positive feedback and secured additional work from attending.
The day was enjoyed by those attending and was certainly appreciated.
