If you ever wondered what kind of things the charity funds, then this is the perfect example! The wonderful nursing team identified if they had some portable drip stands, it would enable them to undertake more treatments in the community, therefore cutting down hospital admissions. They asked, and the charity supplied!
Our fundraising has been severely hit by Covid this year but if you are in a position to donate to causes such as these, please consider donating:

All funds stay in this area to help local people.
We would love to see some captions please for this photo!

A message from our Annie:
Ellington Holistic Drop In Centre has not gone away although during these difficult times of COVID we are adapting to life using Zoom every Tuesday morning from 10 a.m until 12.00.
We are opening our services to any newcomers wishing to join in to either our chat room or yoga sessions and we are looking at new ideas to keep everything interesting and fresh.
Our lovely yoga teacher, Jill Wiles, has trained to work safely with our service users.She is able to offer newcomers an individual assessment before placing them into our beginners session and this works for all levels and ability. She is also able to offer recordings of sessions for anyone she has assessed and worked with if and when that person has not been able to attend the live session, but why don’t I share what some of our participants have said.
Coleen “ I love your sessions, they are always well structured and just right for me. I really enjoy the breathing exercises and find these really helpful.”
Johny “I think the yoga classes are absolutely great. As a complete novice, the level is ideal for me. The pace is perfect and teaching truly excellent.”
Pat “ The sessions on Zoom were a little strange, no banter and being in your own home, but you are able to be in the zone and work to your own limitations.”
As you can see, we are lucky to have Jill and her sessions appeal to both women and men of all ages.
If you want to know more or wish to book for your individual assessment please contact Jill Wiles by telephone 07921149338 or email jillwiles1@btconnect.com
You are guaranteed a warm welcome. Jill will be one of the speakers at the conference in November.
We will be opening our Zoom chats to newcomers from October. We appreciate how hard it might be to join something new so to make life easier we are going to offer open sessions once a month which will have a theme with guest speakers or demonstrations which we hope will be of interest and which will help to ease newcomers in. Our first open session on Tuesday October 27th will be based on motivational skills, something many of us are in need of right now! To find out more contact annie@hccnthecharity.org or mary@hccnthecharity.org
We are always ready to help newcomers to find their way through Zoom. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. Mary and I look forward to seeing you soon.
Annie Thantrey,
Ellington Team Lead.

Can we remind you that if you shop on Amazon, you can raise free money for us by nominating us as your chosen charity and just shopping through www.amazonsmile.co.uk as opposed to the standard Amazon site. They are exactly the same with the same products and it costs you nothing. At this time all our normal fundraising has stopped, so we need as much help as possible! Thanks
