**𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸**
Due to unforeseen circumstances the Health Start course will now start next week on the 24th September and will run for 5 sessions. So there's more time to book your place!
Would you like to get healthier both physically and mentally?
This course would be especially beneficial to anyone who:
- needs some support to get motivated
- likes to be outdoors
- feels anxious about getting out and meeting people again
- enjoys doing things with other people
- but prefers to be in a small group
- would like to try different things before committing to any one thing
The course is run in partnership with Compass Recovery College and each week we will explore physical and mental well-being topics such as stress, resilience, self-care and how we can live a more mindful life.
The course and materials are FREE but booking is essential.
Please contact sharon@risc.org.uk for any further information and to book a place - please say if you need help with transport.

Covid Vaccine Boosters
NHS Berkshire West Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has started to deliver the Covid vaccine boosters.
This is to help top up the protection for those most at risk as we approach winter. In line with the recommendations of the JCVI, these will be offered to the following people who are at greatest risk:
those living in residential care homes for older adults
frontline health and social care workers
all adults aged 50 years or over
all those aged 16 to 49 years with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe COVID-19 and adult carers
adult household contacts of immunosuppressed individuals
If you are eligible for a booster, you will be contacted by the NHS when it is your turn, either by your GP practice or the NHS National Booking Service.
There must be a six month gap between your second Covid vaccine and the booster jab which means some people will not be contacted until the New Year.
Please help us ease pressure on our healthcare services by not contacting your surgery asking about availability.
You will hear from your GP or the National Booking Service when it’s time to book your appointment.
More information is below.
A leaflet is also available on the Gov.uk website:
