The You+ Lifestyle Shop, part of the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust, has celebrated its 4th anniversary with more than 500 people from the local community, with a fun-filled celebration at Chelmsley Wood Shopping Centre.
Visitors were able to enjoy birthday balloons, cake and face painting with members of the You+ team, which acts as a one-stop shop for those requiring advice and support to help lead a healthy lifestyle. A smoothie bike was also available for willing participants to prove their pedal-power and help drive a blender packed full of healthy foods, emphasizing the advantages of an active lifestyle in a fun and engaging way.
Saima Hanif, service manager at the You+ Lifestyle Shop, said: “We pride ourselves on providing an invaluable service to those living in Solihull, and we felt a celebration at Chelmsley Wood Shopping Centre would be a fantastic way of highlighting the support and advice we offer. As well as enjoying the festivities, we were able to help members of the public with any health-related questions they had, including the best way to quit smoking and how to organize a new health and fitness regime and stick to it.
“We would like to thank the local community for its ongoing support, and our doors are always open for those that need a friendly face to talk to about any health and lifestyle concerns.”
The services available at the You+ Lifestyle Shop cover a wide range of lifestyle topics, including healthy eating, weight management, breastfeeding, sexual health, alcohol awareness and stop smoking support.
