🌹 SWAGGA Solutions Valentines Afternoon Tea – What a Day! 💕
SWAGGA Solutions is a collaboration between SWAGGA PCN and Local Solutions and forms a key arm of SWAGGA’s Ageing Well Strategic Frailty Programme led by Dr Luke Wilkinson.
SWAGGA Solutions Wellbeing Hub is on every Wednesday 10.00-2.00pm at Middleton Court, Speke, L24 2AB and is open to everyone over the age of 55. These are drop is sessions so just turn up on the day and our Care Coordinators will welcome you and introduce you to everyone.
Yesterday we welcomed a fantastic turnout of local residents aged 55+ for our Valentines Afternoon Tea at Middleton Court — and the energy was incredible! 🎉
We even had a 93 year old join us, who’s now booked in with our Social Prescriber for exercise support. If he can do it… what’s your excuse??!! 💪😄
The room was buzzing with laughter, music, and plenty of friendly competition thanks to:
🎵 Valentines Music Bingo
🧠 Memory Match
🃏 Play Your Cards Right
❤️ Healthy Heart Quiz
There was a brilliant vibe throughout, topped off with plenty of sing along and shared moments.
Alongside the fun came essential health support. We provided:
✔️ NHS Health Checks
✔️ Ageing Well Clinics
✔️ Social Prescribing Support
✔️ Cancer Support Information
…as well as vital GP support, bringing a doctor out of the usual practice and right into the heart of the neighbourhood — making healthcare more accessible, comfortable, and community centred.

❤️ Making These Events Possible
It is the shared vision of the SWAGGA Directors — Dr Coleen McCabe, Gina Barnett & Dr Udit Gupta — to continue expanding, improving, and elevating these events, with a commitment to bringing this level of support, fun, and health promotion to every area across the SWAGGA network.
Events like this don’t happen by accident and they couldn’t happen without additional funding. Our Managing Director, Gina Barnett, works tirelessly to bid for and secure crucial resources that allow us to bring health services directly into the heart of your neighbourhood.
Her dedication ensures that patients across South Liverpool receive the best, most convenient, and most equitable care possible. Without this funding and leadership, community events of this quality simply wouldn’t be achievable.

🌟 A Vision for the Whole Network
These events don’t just support health, they bring neighbourhoods together, help reduce social isolation, and create meaningful connections between residents, services, and community partners.
The event also provided a much needed opportunity for the SWAGGA leadership team to sit down with residents, listen to what matters most to them, and gather real insights that will help shape and prioritise the services our communities want and need. 🗣️💬
Your voices are helping design the future of local healthcare.
And this is just the beginning…
✨ Keep an eye out for more fun, engaging, and health boosting events coming to your area soon! ✨
Don’t forget SWAGGA Solutions Wellbeing Hub is on every Wednesday 10.00-2.00pm at Middleton Court, Speke, L24 2AB – come down for a cuppa and some fun ☕
Together, we’re building healthier, happier, more connected neighbourhoods. ❤️✨
