Professor Jerome Carson from the University of Bolton is raising funds for the MedEquip4Kids Hummingbird Project by walking an amazing 180 miles from Manchester to Walsingham in Norfolk during eight days in July. In the video below he explains about the Five Ways to Wellbeing, and how amongst other things, exercise can benefit our mental health. 

Delivered free of charge by MedEquip4Kids, the Hummingbird Project has been active in schools in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside and has reached nearly 6,000 pupils since it began in 2018. It takes a preventative approach to mental health issues by introducing evidence-based concepts and practices that can improve resilience and emotional wellbeing. 

You can sponsor Professor Carson on his JustGiving page.

“The specialist treatment chairs are a new vital resource for the therapy team and nursing staff to be able to safely and comfortably sit extremely complex, dependant, critical care patients out of bed. The chairs allow us to begin the patient’s rehabilitation journey by providing appropriate postural support at the same time as pressure relief to allow the patient to build the muscle strength to hold themselves up against gravity. This allows them to begin to interact with their environment in a more normal way, enabling them to participate in meaningful activities such as meal times and activities of daily living.”
