Podsmead Community Association

Last week we held our monthly team meeting was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do 💛

We were honoured to have Hayden join us as a special guest, delivering a truly impactful lived experience presentation. He shared honest insights into what good care looks like, and just as importantly, what poor care feels like, highlighting how Lean On Me continues to stand apart from other services.

His message was clear: to achieve the best outcomes, we must work together, reflect on what has worked well, and be open about what hasn’t. Continuous learning and honest conversations are what drive real change.

Hayden’s passion doesn’t stop there..

He also supports training sessions as a lived experience trainer with the Oliver McGowan team olivermtraining, helping to shape better understanding and practice across the sector.

Thank you, Hayden, for your openness, your time, and your ongoing commitment to improving care for everyone 🙌

A massive thank you to Podsmead Community Association for allowing us the use of the main hall and supporting our small business.

NEW PHARMACY OPENS IN PODSMEAD

I’m delighted to welcome Allied Pharmacy, which opened in Podsmead this August.

For a long time I, along with many others, have been campaigning and writing letters to try and bring a pharmacy to the ward. This is a really positive addition for our community.

Having a local pharmacy will make a big difference, improving access to healthcare, supporting residents, and helping people manage their health more easily.

It’s great to see this now open and serving the community.
