North West Community would like to thank all members who attended their first new style Member Meetup at the Midland Hotel, Manchester.
The event was well received by the 55 members (including their guests) who attended. Attendees enjoyed some fantastic presentations from a range of presenters.. We were joined by: Cheryl Lythgoe, the Society Matron from Benenden Health's Registered Office who provided a presentation on “How Healthy Are You!” including top tips on health and wellbeing. Jane Cooper, from Benenden Health's Products and Services Team who provided an overview of services included within your Benenden Health membership. Members found this very informative and enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions. The Member Engagement Team were on hand and keen to show members the benefits of accessing the Benenden Health App and how to engage with fellow members through the Online Community. Greg Kearns from The Brain Charity provided an interesting presentation on neuro diversity, with a particular focus on Dementia. He provided an overview of the service provided by The Brain Charity and how support can be accessed. Libby Howard and Jason Bellis from St John Ambulance delivered an interactive demonstration on essential life saving skills from CPR to using a defibrillator. As well as providing information on everyday first aid tips.
The event was well attended by North West Community Representatives, who were on hand throughout the day and did a great job engaging with Members about their Community and their roles.
It was lovely to meet face-to-face with so many members and we hope to see you again soon.
