🚗 MobilityWays Car Share App🚗

For many of our residents living in rural areas accessing the services they need can be a challenge, particularly in communities where access to public transport may be limited and walking and cycling are not a realistic option. Cornwall Council are working with communities and partners to explore new ways of increasing transport choice in rural areas.

In partnership with Mobilityways, Cornwall Rural Community Charity and local stakeholders they are undertaking the trial of a Car Share community for the West Penwith area. The project looks to increase transport options in some of our most rural communities. The trial will initially run for a period of 12 months and if successful may be rolled out in other areas.

💉🤰MATERNITY VACCINES🤰💉

There are a few vaccinations that are recommended during pregnancy to protect both you and your baby. When you are vaccinated your body produces antibodies that transfer through the placenta to your baby providing them with protection. This protection helps prevent the disease or make illness less serious.

📆Year round vaccinations:
Whooping Cough (Pertussis) - this should be offered by your midwife
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

🍁Seasonal Vaccinations:
Seasonal Influenza (Flu)

You can read more about the recommended pregnancy vaccinations at the link below:

🩼Community Loan Equipment Amnesty🩼

Cornwall Council and the local NHS are urging residents to hand back unused or unwanted care equipment this winter.

The council, working in partnership with NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly, loans out essential items such as walking frames, crutches, commodes, beds, and short-term loaned wheelchairs to help people live independently at home. But many of these items are left unused or forgotten in people’s homes once they are no longer needed.

Giving back equipment helps local health and care services make the most of their resources and ensures valuable items can be reused rather than thrown away. Larger items such as beds and hoists are particularly costly to repurchase, while reusing existing equipment saves money for the taxpayer. Cornwall Council’s in-house retrieval team works with Medequip to collect, clean and refurbish items so they can safely be issued to someone else who needs them.

Each piece of equipment should have a barcode label with details of where to return it. Medequip can provide guidance on where smaller items such as crutches, walking frames, or perching stools can be taken. They can also help arrange a free collection for larger pieces of equipment.

Anyone unsure what to do can contact Medequip for advice on 01726 210477 or email cornwall@medequip-uk.com or visit Medequip's website.

💙HEART MONTH - Reducing your cholesterol❤️

We all need some cholesterol in our blood to stay healthy, but too much can lead to serious health problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

Cholesterol can clog up the arteries that carry blood around the body, making them narrower and causing blood clots. If the arteries become clogged up, the blood does not flow as easily and this can lead to a range of cardiovascular diseases.

High cholesterol is very common, but most people don't know they have it because it doesn't usually have any symptoms. There are treatments available for high cholesterol, but it's usually possible to lower cholesterol naturally with healthy lifestyle changes.

You can find out more about how to be Cholesterol Smart here: https://www.heartuk.org.uk/cholesterol-smart/cholesterol-smart-home

WORLD CANCER DAY - 4TH FEBRUARY 2026

🧠🚺ADHD Women Unite 🚺🧠

"That ADHD Woman" CIC was created to give women with ADHD a voice, a platform, and the tools to better understand and support themselves. Out of this mission has grown ADHD Women Unite — a community initiative designed to bring women together in a safe, supportive, and empowering space.

They meet monthly to share and support each other. To book, visit their Eventbrite Page: https://bit.ly/eventbrite-ADHDWomenUnite-

💜 A place for women to share their lived experiences openly and without judgment

💜 A community where support, strategies, and encouragement are exchanged freely

💜 A hub for connection, reminding women that they are not alone in their ADHD journey

This initiative sits at the heart of That ADHD Woman’s wider vision — to develop tools, resources, and peer-led programmes that meet the real, everyday needs of women with ADHD. By creating both community and understanding, they are laying the foundation for change.

🧠☕️Neurodiversity Cafe with Wildfire Solutions at WAC Community Hub☕️🧠

WAC Community Hub are joining up with Wildfire Solutions offering a free non-judgmental neurodivergence workshop.

Find out more from Emma at Whole Again Communities CIO:

"Do you have or suspect a neurodivergence condition or maybe a family member or friend? Unsure about everything and need advice or support? Come along on Friday 30th January.

I (Emma) have a 5 year old son who is now in reception, my journey started over a year ago when my sons behaviour was a little bit different to what society class as ‘normal’. I was doing the profiling tool with his nursery and his family worker and the information was confusing and conflicting.

I had very little information about anything apart from Google and even then, it’s so vast that I was still unsure. There were no support groups whatsoever, I was trying to navigate it all on my own and through trial and error, the forms got sent off and he’s now on the pathway to being diagnosed.

This pathway will take years, I have no support at all now, the family worker has no need to be involved now the forms have been submitted, I’ve been left in the lurch so to speak. Therapy is due to start, it’s been supposed to happen since late September but we are still waiting!!

I had a brief conversation with Julia of Wildfire whilst setting this up at WAC and have so much more understanding than I ever had before and I’m excited to be part of this project where hopefully we can all support each other and be part of something much needed in the area.

Julia herself is ASD/ADHD diagnosed, her family all have neurodivergent disorders, she has worked in various organisations and her husband has worked in CAMHs and now run this organisation to help others.

No booking required, just turn up!"

🩵CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH🩵

ℹ️ Cervical cancer is a cancer that's found anywhere in the cervix. It's most common in women aged between 30 and 35, but it can happen at any age.
ℹ️ Anyone with a cervix can get cervical cancer.
ℹ️ Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by an infection from certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

🔬 You can reduce your risk by attending cervical screening, which aims to find and treat changes to cells before they turn into cancer.
🧫 Cervical cancer usually develops very slowly. How serious it is depends on how big it is, if it has spread and your general health.

If you are concerned about symptoms of cervical cancer, please contact the surgery.
