Women's Wellbeing Event

What an Incredible Day!

On Saturday 27th September, women from Adwick & Carcroft came together for a vibrant community event focused on improving women's health and wellbeing, hosted by Be Well Doncaster.

From the very beginning, this event was shaped by residents voices. With 135 responses to our pre-event survey, we were able to design a day that truly reflected what matters most to them: expert-led talks, mindful activities and over 20 stalls covering a range of women's health topics - all inspired by their ideas.

Local women took part in cooking sessions, relaxation therapies such as reflexology and aromatherapy, enjoyed free health checks by Randox, listened to expert-led talks or even took the opportunity to have a walk-in cervical screening by Primary Care Doncaster. Overall, it was inspiring to see lots of women connecting with each other and discovering local services who were offering a wide range of support, from subjects around mental health to menopause to family support.

A total of 208 residents attended, including volunteers who dedicated their day to supporting local women. With over 75 feedback responses, many women have expressed how valuable it was to access trusted information in a welcoming space. When asked how confident or empowered women felt in their knowledge of their health and wellbeing after the event (on a scale of 1 to 10), the average score was an incredible 8.48!

What's Next...

Following the event, a monthly Women's Wellbeing Hub will be co-created in November by local women. Already, over 100 women have expressed their interest in attending the group or even helping to create it! It is going to be safe and welcoming space for women to come along, chat with other women, learn new ways in looking after their health and wellbeing and taking that time to relax with a cuppa.
