About Healthwatch Bury:

Healthwatch is your health and social care champion. We make sure NHS leaders and other decision makers hear your voice and use your feedback to improve care. Last year, we supported over 200 residents in Bury to access health and social care services during the pandemic.

Our current research topic is digital access and isolation. You can view the online survey here. We will also have paper copies for people to fill in during our drop-in session. 

For those who can’t attend the drop-in session, telephone support is available Mon-Fri on 0161 253 6300. I will also be starting some virtual sessions later this month.

Dear All,

As you are aware we have been running a Cuppa and a Chat event throughout the Covid restrictions to help people in our community who have felt isolated. Numbers were limited to 15 in total, including helpers but we are now pleased to announce that through popular demand and the lifting of restrictions, we are going to continue with the Cuppa and Chat afternoons every Thursday from 2 – 4pm.

Our first afternoon in the larger hall of Greenmount Old School will take place on 12^th August and will accommodate many more of our residents. In order to make this more special we are holding an Afternoon Tea and entertainment by our local band The Strummers.

We invite anyone, whether feeling lonely and isolated, retired or recently moved into Greenmount (or local area) interested in getting involved in the life of our village community or just wanting to get to know the people of Greenmount.

Booking is essential for this special opening event: please phone Jenny on 01204 882762 to book a place.

For those who can’t walk as far as the Old School we can provide transport there and back. Phone Christine on 0785 4260947 if you would like transport.

If you would like to go on the rota to provide transport please let Christine know.

Please be aware that the Cuppa and Chat will not be open on Thursday 5^th August due to the Antique and Collector’s Fair taking place. More details of this will follow soon.

I look forward to you joining us for Afternoon Tea on the 12^th August.

With kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Good Morning Everyone

To keep the growing areas around Greenmount looking fresh and healthy, whilst you are out on a walk could you pour a drinks bottle of water on one of these areas during the hot weather: Incredible Edible Plot by Church, Herb Garden in front of the Old School, Pre-School Flower bed on the Lines and the raised beds at Hollymount Orchard.

Also, to commemorate the life of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and The Queen’s Green Canopy, we have been offered free trees for planting.  If you would like one for your private garden area please reply to this email.

Thank you and continue to enjoy this fine spell of weather we are having

Paul is unavailable for this Friday and it looks like it may well be a scorcher!

So the proposed Woodland Management for this coming Friday is cancelled, we may try to fit in two days in September. There is no planned day for August.

Hopefully you will not be too disappointed and enjoy the good weather.

All the best,

Alistair

Good Morning

If you fancy doing a bit of quick, easy and important conservation work this weekend then you have an opportunity to help out in Redisher Woods. A Himalayan Balsam Bashing session has been organised by the Friends of Redisher Woods, starting at 1:30pm on Sunday 18th July, on the bridge below the Redisher Lane entrance.  The sessions usually last approximately one and a half hours.

There will be some nettles in the way so have your arms covered and wear some gloves.

Thank you for your support.
