Happy 1st Birthday to Duke! 🐾🎂

Everyone’s favourite dog has just turned one! Duke has been coming to Middle Street for just under a year now, so we thought it was time to celebrate with some of his best moments. ❤️🐶

For those who don’t know Duke, he’s a regular visitor at Middle Street and can usually be found here most mornings, Monday to Friday. 🐾

If you haven’t met him yet, feel free to stop by, say hello and give him a fuss and play. 🫶🥎🏀 He’s always happy to make a new friend! 🥰

Happy birthday, Duke! 🐶

Our next Health Talk is tomorrow!!! The topic will be Arthritis.

Health Talks are free, informal drop-in sessions designed to make healthcare information more accessible. Led by a clinician from the Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Psychiatry Teaching Unit, alongside medical students and Middle Street staff, each session explores a different health topic in a friendly, welcoming environment. There is plenty of opportunity to ask questions, join the discussion, and take away useful information and resources.

This month's session will look at arthritis, a common condition that affects the joints and can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. We'll discuss the different types of arthritis, common symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and practical ways to manage symptoms and protect your joint health.
Everyone is welcome, but this session may be particularly helpful for people living with arthritis or joint pain, carers, and anyone interested in learning more about maintaining healthy joints.

There will also be the opportunity to speak privately with the clinician or medical students, ask general health questions, and have your blood pressure, height, and weight checked. These optional checks are free, confidential, and no appointment is needed.

📍 Where: Middle Street Resource Centre, 74 Middle Street, Beeston, NG9 2AR
🗓 Date: Wednesday 19th August, 2026
⏰ Time: Drop in anytime between 2:00pm and 4:00pm

If you have any questions, please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or calling 0115 925 2516.

CHANGE OF DATE ‼️

Apologies for the short notice, but due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to postpone our next Health Talks session.

The session will now take place on Wednesday 22nd July instead of Wednesday 15th July. All other details remain the same; it will still be held at Middle Street Resource Centre, from 2:00pm–4:00pm, and will focus on Chronic Kidney Disease.

Please find the updated information below:

Our Health Talks series continues on Wednesday 22nd July with our next session focusing on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Health Talks are informal, drop-in sessions designed to make healthcare information more accessible. Each session explores a different health topic and is led by a clinician from the Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Psychiatry Teaching Unit, alongside medical students and Middle Street staff. The sessions provide clear, easy-to-understand information, opportunities for discussion, and take-away resources related to the topic.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually become less effective at carrying out their function. Many people with CKD experience few or no symptoms in its early stages, meaning it can often go undiagnosed until it has progressed. This session will explore what CKD is, who is at risk, how it is diagnosed, and the importance of maintaining kidney health through lifestyle changes and regular monitoring. We will also discuss the signs and symptoms to look out for, treatment options, and where to access support.

While everyone is welcome to attend, we would particularly encourage people living with Chronic Kidney Disease, those with diabetes or high blood pressure, individuals with a family history of kidney disease, and anyone who would like to learn more about protecting their kidney health to attend. Increasing awareness of CKD is important because early detection and treatment can make a significant difference in preventing further kidney damage and improving long-term health.

Alongside the group discussion, there will also be a private space available where attendees can choose to:

Have their blood pressure, height, and weight checked.
Ask questions or discuss basic health concerns one-to-one with the attending clinician or medical students.
These checks and conversations are optional, confidential, free of charge, and no appointment is necessary. You are very welcome to attend even if you would just like to listen and learn.

Health Talks are open to everyone in the community. They aim to improve access to healthcare information but are not a replacement for GP appointments.

📍 Where: Middle Street Resource Centre, 74 Middle Street, Beeston, NG9 2AR

🗓 Date: Wednesday 22nd July 2026

⏰ Time: Drop in anytime between 2:00pm and 4:00pm

If you have any questions or would like more information, please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or calling 0115 925 2516.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you on Wednesday 22nd July.

‼️ HEALTH TALKS: CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE‼️

Join us on Wednesday 15th July for our next Health Talks session, focusing on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually become less effective at filtering waste from the blood. It often develops slowly and may not cause symptoms in its early stages, making awareness and early detection especially important. This session will explore what CKD is, its causes and symptoms, how it can be managed, and where people can access support.

Everyone is welcome, but we would particularly encourage those living with Chronic Kidney Disease, people at higher risk (including those with diabetes or high blood pressure), family members, and anyone interested in learning more about kidney health to attend.

There will also be the opportunity to speak privately with a clinician or medical students, and to have your blood pressure, height, and weight checked if you wish.

📍 Middle Street Resource Centre, Beeston (NG9 2AR)
🗓 Wednesday 15th July 2026
⏰ 2:00pm–4:00pm

Free, informal, and open to everyone. No appointment needed.
