A big thanks to @pasna@WeekdayWOW , Lisa Westhorpe @sportforconf Ali Leigh & everyone else at #theotshow championing the role OT's have in getting people moving. We had a full house, with more unable to get in. We hate to disappoint so watch out for our webinars coming soon ๐
The feedback has been incredible and is helping us shape whatโs next. We've got 3 more public meetings to go, and weโre loving every minute of it! Huge thanks again to NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation. Your support is helping us bring Weekday Wow Factor to even more communities!
Thanks to the amazing support from NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation's Innovation Fund, weโve hosted public meetings in Arbroath, Muirhead, Carnoustie, Kirriemuir, Montrose, Brechin and Forfar, all buzzing with energy and ideas from over 50s in the community!
If you or someone you know is curious about how innovative grassroots models can shape future wellbeing and community support, this is the perfect project.
Please share widely so we can find the best candidate to join this exciting journey!
