The community based pain management service has launched a new website https://rethinkingpain.org/
Rethinking Pain is a new community-based service for adults living with long-term pain in the Bradford and Craven area. The Rethinking pain team work one-to-one and in groups to connect people living with persistent pain to appropriate pain information, including education, support and community-based activities.
"Our approach is designed to support people’s physical, mental, social and environmental needs. While understanding the individual’s preferences and circumstances, to help them manage their pain better day-to-day, with potential to improve their quality of life".
"Climate Action Ilkley are pleased to announce the launch of a new project- Ilkley Active Travel Hub, after having successfully secured grant funding from West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) to set up a community active travel hub.
The project website contains information on self-guided walks and rides as well as numerous local groups offering social walks and rides that people can join.
We are also offering a 4-week e-bike loan scheme to enable people to try out an e-bike over an extended trial. People can register interest for this on the website.
The project is collaborating with Wharfedale Airedale and Craven Alliance (WACA) who provide a social prescribing service in the GP surgeries in order to offer advice and support to health patients on local walking and cycling options.
The project will expand and develop over the next year.
People can also request one to one support or group support via our Active Travel Coordinator, Hayley Beasley-Dye who can advise on activities to suit different needs and preferences.
Hayley says “The Ilkley active travel hub is a great way to get the people of Ilkley out and about and becoming more active. Plus there is the potential of socialising more through all the active groups that Ilkley has to offer. Come and say hello to us when we have stands at community events - we’ll be at the Real Food Market on 2nd July.”
