Really positive news 👍🏼

Patients who have been cared for at Frome and Wincanton hospitals can now continue their physiotherapy at local gyms – thanks to a fantastic partnership with Fusion Gym and Wincanton Sports Centre 🏋️

This new initiative means our physiotherapy teams can support patients outside of a hospital setting in a more familiar, community space – helping them build confidence, stay active, and even consider a long-term gym membership.

A huge thank you to both gyms for generously offering their space for free and helping us support long-term health and wellbeing in our communities 💙

🌾 Harvest Festival 🌾

It has been a culmination of a few weeks activities - Harvest loaf making and the creation of an autumnal wreath - that contributed to our lovely Harvest display.

The additional of home-grown fruit and vegetables, and garden flora created a great backdrop to our Harvest service.

Led by our wonderful chaplaincy volunteer Sue, patients and staff enjoyed a short service celebrating the produce that the season brings.

Hymns, prayers and Betjeman’s poem - Diary of a Church Mouse - were read.

What a lovely afternoon!
