There was music, there was dancing and a whole lot more besides as a healthy lifestyle shop in Chelmsley Wood celebrated a milestone birthday on Saturday and showcased the wide range of services it offers to the local community.

The You+ Lifestyle Shop, part of the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, has been at the heart of Chelmsley Wood Shopping Centre for the past five years acting as a one-stop shop for those in need of support to help lead a healthy lifestyle.

On Saturday the shop’s fifth birthday was marked with a fun-packed event in Central Square with music, dancing, face painting and birthday cake, as well as an opportunity for the public to discover the services You+ has to offer.

In attendance throughout the day were the various teams at You+ including the weight management, stop smoking, infant feeding and sexual health teams, as well as partners such as Macmillan Cancer Support and Solihull Carers Centre.

Thenain Coulibaly, service manager at You+, said: “It was a really entertaining and fun event but also rich in information and services that we were able to showcase to the public. It was a real success and the community were able to experience first-hand our commitment to improve the health and well-being of the people of Chelmsley Wood and its surroundings.

“It was wonderful to meet such a mix of people and spread serious messages in a light-hearted environment. I hope everyone who came and saw us took away some useful information and will think of utilising our services in the future.”
