Cheers for Fridays
One patient attended the ‘Cheers for Fridays’ mens group, who had not left his home for three years, was socially isolated, low in confidence and felt anxious.
He has been regularly attending these sessions for four months now, which has had a massive impact on his confidence. He has recently volunteered to stand up in front of the ‘Cheers for Fridays’ group and do a talk about his love of Sturgeon fish, sharing his skills and knowledge with his audience.
The group was initiated by one of our social prescribers who works in a local Northampton surgery, in partnership with the McCarthy Dixon Foundation and Spring.
