Live in the Park – August 2021

On Saturday 28th August 2021, the HLC held a stand to showcase our Centre and what we have to offer to our community at Live in the Park, hosted by Aylesbury Town Council. Based in Vale Park, Aylesbury, our stand was very popular with everyone who attended with our hook a duck activity, name the bear game and garden colouring competition being a big hit! We offered FREE balloons to everyone who visited the stand too!

As we are based in Walton Court, we wanted to use the event to reach the wider community of Aylesbury and Buckinghamshire and showcase the activities, events, wellbeing groups and other services we have to offer.

We had such a great response to the stand and are so grateful to everyone who took the time to come and visit and talk to us about the Centre. We are looking forward to the future and hope to welcome some new faces to the HLC. With a range of new activities starting up over the next few months keep up to date by following our social media platforms.

HLC Summer Fayre 2021 – ‘Growing Healthier Together’

On Saturday 10th July 2021, the HLC opened its gates for our annual Summer Fayre! As last year’s Fayre was cancelled due to the Covid Pandemic we were determined to make this Fayre the best we could for our Community!

Throughout the day we offered FREE taster sessions for the younger community to enjoy. We had Boxing and Yoga sessions and offered our newly built Sensory room to be explored by the children. We also offered children’s activities in our on-site nursery as well as a FREE bouncy castle. All activities went down extremely well and we have had some lovely feedback!

We had a number of stalls in our courtyard including World of Wax wax melt stand, St Johns Ambulance offering demonstrations and advice, Live Well Stay Well offering free health checks, our local councillors had a stand as well as Community Grow, who have been working with the local community offering gardening opportunities for Walton Court and the surrounding areas. We also had a Henna stand, Raffle and Tombola, all of which went down a storm!

We had a visit from The Mayor of Aylesbury, Cllr Anders Christensen at 2pm who got involved and was tasked with digging up the first crop of potatoes from our community garden!

We would like to say a big thankyou to everyone who came and supported our Fayre! After a tough year we wanted to make sure we offered a Fayre for all to enjoy!

You can keep up to date with any other events at the HLC through our social media platforms or by signing up to our monthly newsletter.

Team Fundraising

It was blowing a gale on the morning of Saturday 27 April, but that did not deter the Healthy Living Centre team. Joining the Aylesbury Park Run, a group of us ran or walked the 5k route.

Whilst we do like to actively promote healthy living, we were inspired to take part in this group activity to fundraise for a delightful girl, who attends the Big Bear Nursery.

Kaysey is a sociable, determined and bright 3 year-old, who brings a smile to nursery every day. She has strong opinions and a love of imaginative play. She is keen to join in with songs, colouring, story time and music. Casey is also wheelchair bound as a result of a rare condition known as Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

In order to live life to the full, Kaysey needs specific equipment, including a specialist wheelchair that will give her greater independence. Our team took on the 5k challenge in order to fundraise and offer this little girl a better quality of life. We are delighted that our efforts have raised over £2300, but there is still time to donate.

We’d like to thank everyone who took on the fundraising challenge, as well as the people who generously donated to support Kaysey. It was a fantastic team effort, which will make a big difference to  her family.
