St Helens Wellbeing

Meet Raymond not David — today he proudly picked up his Silver Smokefree Badge after staying quit for 3 months 🎉

I apologise wholeheartedly Raymond! It seems Sue got a little bit too excited at you getting Silver 🥈 🥈.

He popped into the South Community Hub Library for his carbon monoxide check and left with a huge smile… and a message for anyone thinking about quitting:

“It’s a good service that helps anyone in St Helens to quit smoking. Coming to the library and having a carbon monoxide reading taken inspires you to stay quit. Anyone thinking of quitting should ring Smokefree and give it a go. I never thought I would ever quit — but I have.”

We LOVE to see success stories like this — and did you know you can get Smokefree support right in your local library? How amazing is that! 📚✨

If you are ready (yes you are ready!) to start your own journey, our team is here to help every step of the way.

Call, we have appointments this week, 01744 371111.

🌿 Pollen season is here — but summer fun doesn’t have to stop.

For many children with respiratory conditions, warmer weather can also mean more flare-ups and breathing challenges. The good news? A few simple habits can go a long way in helping reduce exposure and keeping kids feeling their best. 💙

We’re sharing easy seasonal tips all summer long to help families navigate everyday challenges with a little more confidence and peace of mind.

Lynn and Rob completed another Mental Health course with St Helens Borough Council staff, ran over 4 days - Well done to a great group of learners! 👏

🚭 This is your reminder... quitting smoking is possible, and every smoke-free journey starts with a single step.

Sean made the decision to quit — and you can too. Here he is with Lisa from our Super SmokeFree team completing his CO reading which is now a wonderful 11ppm. Well done Sean.

If you are thinking about stopping smoking, support is just a phone call away. Call Smokefree on Monday and take that first step towards better health, more energy, and extra money in your pocket.

We are at the St Helens Wellbeing Event in Queens Park today! 💜

Pop down and say hello to the team, find out about the support and services available in your community, and take the opportunity to have your cervical screening if you're due. 🌸

It's a friendly, welcoming event with lots of health and wellbeing information all in one place. We'd love to see you there!

This morning I stepped in as First Mate for our Men's Wellbeing session at Park Farm while Captain Paul enjoys some well-deserved annual leave. ⚓

The crew put in a great effort with some chair-based exercises and certainly earned their brew and banana! We also solved a few of life's important questions, including football debates and the surprising discovery that some things we call fruits are actually herbs. 🍅🌿

A great morning of movement, conversation and plenty of laughs. Hopefully I kept the ship steady until the captain returns! 😊

If you would like to attend please call 01744 371111.
