South West Community would like to thank all members who attended their first new style Member Meetup at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Plymouth.
The event was well received by the 67 members who attended (including their guests) who 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. Andrew Fletcher, an Operational Trainer from Benenden Health's Registered Office who provided an overview of services included within your Benenden Health membership. Members found this very informative and enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions. Cheryl Lythgoe, the Society Matron from Benenden Health's Registered Office alsoprovided an interactive presentation on first aid, how to use a defibrillator and what to do if someone is choking. The Member Engagement Team were on hand and keen to speak with members. Brian Gotts, Deputy Leader for the South West Community did an excellent job to explain the benefits of accessing the Benenden Health App and how to engage with fellow members through the Online Community.
Unfortunately, Greg Kearns from The Brain Charity was unable to join us on the day - we hope to see him soon at future meetups.
The event was well attended by South 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.
