4,000 HAND DELIVERED TO HOMES IN ASHTON IN MAKERFIELD

Welcome to the July Issue of Local Living Well that was an amazing extra long Bank Holiday Weekend , celebrating Our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Garswood Street celebrations were well organised and well supported. Hudson loved his hot tub party! Looking for a safe cool place to walk your dogs Three Sisters is well worth a visit, lovely and cool walk through the trees and whilst you’re there grab refreshments at The Hamlet (an extension of Hope School & College‘s ‘Outstanding’ Legacy provision providing opportunities for young adults with additional needs to gain the skills they need for the workplace.) You might remember we shared pictures last month of the new Little Library in Jubilee Park thankfully it is back up and running after being vandalised and fully stocked so well worth a visit. Be sure to read about AIM Northwest on page 4 collecting School uniform to allow families access to free uniform. As always we want to know the great things happening in our community.

Slimming World Crowned their Man of the Year 2022 Damien Wallwork joined Slimming World with Vicki Jones in February 2021, whilst the sessions were virtual. Vicki said “From the moment he joined he gave it his absolute all” Damien loves to cook and immediately set about creating some fabulous meals, in true Damien style he set up a Facebook page and there the story began. First up was The BEST doner meat & chips showing us all how to create it for ourselves. He wowed us week after week with his culinary skills, go watch for yourself D’s Diner with over 11000 followers. Once the real life groups reopened Damien attended on a weekly basis achieving his target weight with a loss just under 2 1/2stone. Alongside working full time and filming all the meals he made, he also brought his Mum Marie to group and by batch cooking for her and her husband Bill he also helped Marie achieve her Target weight too. Slimming World is made up of three parts : Food Optimising , IMAGE Therapy and Body Magic

That Slimming World Feeling!

Damien smashed the food optimising making his and his partners favourite meals in a really healthy way , he stayed to group every week giving so much support to other members in IMAGE Therapy and as he got closer to target he started the Body Magic part by forgetting the Couch to 5k part and going straight out for a 5k run. His total commitment throughout saw him voted as Man of the Year 2022 by members from my other sessions as well as his own group! The icing on the cake came in April happy at his target weight on holiday , he was interviewed by a film crew and you can watch it for yourself on Channel 5— The Cruise, Sunday nights at 9pm!

ASHTON SCOUT GROUPS Over the last month 1st Ashton Cubs and Scouts have done some litter picking around Ashton. This is something we do every year as part of our wider community programme. Due to our large numbers of children, we have split up into groups and each group tackled different locations on different dates. 40 Scouts (aged 10 & 1/2 - 14) cleared Skitters woods The 55 cubs (aged 8 - 10 &1/2) have split into groups and done a couple of hours litter picking round Ashton Market, 3 Sisters, the bit by St Oswald's school (& last area yet to be decided) Each night they have been out for between an hour and a half and 2 hours and in their groups collected 3-5 big bags of litter between them. We also have 20 beavers (aged 6-8) who are looking at doing their own litter pick but we are being cautious about areas as there has been lots of broken glass and dangerous items about. The children have loved doing the litter picks and have been impressed after seeing the difference they have made. Passers by have praised them and made them feel proud of what they are doing for their community and the environment.
