Together Better at Volunteer Centre Hackney
About Together Better
The Together Better service is a collaborative effort between Volunteer Centre Hackney and local GP surgeries. Its mission is to enhance community well-being by providing free activities that go beyond medical services. These activities help combat social isolation, boost mental and physical health, and reduce the strain on the NHS.
Current Activities at the Practice
- 1. Free English Class: Improve language skills and connect with others through conversational English classes.
- 2. Free Music Class: Explore the joy of music and rhythm in a supportive environment.
- 3. Coffee Mornings: Gather over a cup of coffee, share stories, and build friendships.
- 4. Arts and Craft Sessions: Unleash your creativity through art projects and crafts.
- 5. Self-Defence Workshops: Learn essential self-defence techniques and build confidence.
- 6. Board Games: Enjoy friendly competition and camaraderie with fellow patients.
From November 2023 to January 2024, Hackney patients spent over 6,000 hours participating in Together Better activities. These sessions have led to stronger connections, improved skills, and better mental and physical health. By engaging in these activities, patients also relieve pressures on the NHS.
