Knowles Trust Project
…thanks to you and all at Munro Health for your including the tenants of Ernest Harriss House in the programme
of alternative health treatment. This has been well received and greatly appreciated by all 11 of the Ernest Harriss
House tenants, the two tenants from Perin House and including the older people from the local community who took part.
Mrs Blach, Mr Piper and Mr Ganguly have all expressed their thanks and appreciation
of the sessions and talked of how they have benefitted and are feeling better. Mrs Blach was practically house bound but
has even started going down to the Chair Exercise class every Wednesday here as a result of the therapy she received.
She is a lot more mobile and very happy. Mr Ganguly said he was having trouble lifting his right arm but is finding it a lot
more flexible now. Mr Piper also speaks of the relief he feels since having his treatments and is sad that they are
coming to an end.
I hope that future funding will be made available to Munro Health so that the tenants and the
local community can continue to benefit from these treatments.
Thanks again.

Wellbeing Drop-in Workshops
All of you gave love and caring to the
group and that warmth and positive energy had a wonderful effect on all those present. You all gave far
more than just the talk or treatment. People were positively glowing when they returned from having acupuncture. Mei coped
wonderfully with the tough questioning by 2 nurses!
The fact that they were relaxed to start with thanks to Christene, I am sure
helped them too.
The comments on the evaluation forms about the workshop were:
- It was very informative.
- I learnt to meditate.
- I had a
relaxing massage.
- I felt relaxed.
Should there be more workshops like
this?
- Yes it needs to be advertised to every carer who is able to attend.
- Very
good! Yes there should be more like this, it helped me very much
- It
was absolutely wonderful. Nice, calm teachers. Yes there should be more like this.
- I thought it was great. Everyone was welcoming and the speakers knowledgeable and caring.
Did you learn anything
new?
- Yes information about breath and relaxation
- Treated with
acupuncture for the first time.
Everyone said they learned something new and one mentioned relaxation and one meditation. Thank
you again.
