💙 Your health matters! 💙

We're delighted to be hosting the Mid Hampshire Healthcare team at the Riverside Centre for a special health awareness event focused on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD affects 1 in 10 adults in the UK and often develops without noticeable symptoms, making early detection incredibly important.

Come along to meet the nursing team, receive a FREE blood pressure check, and get expert advice on protecting your long-term health. Small checks today could make a big difference tomorrow.

📅 Friday 4th September
📍 Riverside Centre

No appointment needed, just drop in and take a positive step towards better health.

Our new building has a lot of carpet that is in desperate need of TLC (aren’t we all!) our budget is not going to stretch to replacing the carpets so we are looking for a professional carpet cleaner that can hopefully offer us a really good price to get the carpets looking fresh and youthful again. If anyone has any contacts please do let us know 😊oh and if anyone can help me look fresh and youthful again…….

Over 229 Island residents shared their experiences of cancer services.
