Fabulous Fridays 💙

Great news from Sparks Health Hubs in Barrowcliff and Eastfield! These are part of our Move and Connect sessions funded by North Yorkshire Sport via the York Mayor's Movement fund.

We continue to work with Lisa a Care Coordinator and Health and Wellbeing Coach from SCORE PCN (covering 4 Scarborough GP Surgeries) to support our community with healthier habits around food, nutrition and movement — and it’s already paying off.

This week, three people have lost weight after putting last week’s conversations into action. Small steps, shared together, really do make a difference.

If you’d like support with your own health and wellbeing, pop in and see us. You’re always welcome.

Blood pressure checks
Food and nutrition advice
Get weighed if you want to
Sleep habits
Movement and exercise

Mondays in Barrowcliff 1-3 at Wreyfield Drive

Fridays in Eastfield 10-12 at Manham Hill

Wellbeing Wednesdays 😊

Well it started off with the shutters not working at our Eastfield office due to the power out. But we got help from Gareth from Yorkshire Coast Locksmiths to get us in the building so we could carry on with counselling and coaching appointments 💛

Then we realised our WiFi router was also frazzled last night in the storm, hopefully a new one arriving tomorrow 🤞 and then you wonder what the third thing will be, why do we think the worst?

Well the third thing was a beautiful bunch of flowers and chocolate for Michelle from a very grateful client (they obviously know her well) 🥰 it was very much appreciated after the stressful start to the day ❤️

Talking Tuesdays 😊

We’re excited to share that we will continue to be a delivery partner with Better Connect on the Rise2Thrive contract for 2026/27, after our successful delivery last year 🎉

Michelle and Glenda attended the launch event today in York today. It was lovely to get together with other partner organisations, to celebrate last year's success and discuss the new programme.

Glenda is a qualified Tutor, Life Coach, Mental Health First Aider and successful Key Worker with a wealth of experience. She will be supporting economically inactive people across our community to build confidence, improve mental health and wellbeing as well as develop employability skills, and take positive steps toward training, volunteering, and employment.

If you or someone you know is looking for support to move forward, we’re here to help.

Great to see so many local organisations working together on this project Futureworks NY Scarborough, Carers Plus Yorkshire , ,
Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Mind, Age UK North Yorkshire Coast and Moors Beyond Housing, Yorkshire in Business Photography plus many more organisations across North Yorkshire 💛

*IMPORTANT NOTICE*

The lift is still out of action at our WEDNESDAY group at Elim Church on Castle Road but we WILL still be open this week as normal.

If possible, please leave your prams in the foyer and we will help you with bags and children down the few stairs to access the hall if required. We can also help you carry sleeping babies down safely.

Sorry for the inconvenience this causes

🌟 Thankful Thursdays 🌟

At Sparks, we're passionate about supporting people to improve their health and wellbeing, and no two days are ever quite the same!

Today began with coaching sessions, helping clients move forward and overcome barriers such as anxiety, low confidence, financial worries, or simply not knowing where to start. It's always rewarding to see people take positive steps towards their goals.

A couple of our team then joined others at our yoga session with Fran from Scarborough Yoga Space 🧘‍♀️

After lunch, it was time for our Baby Group 👶 – a welcoming space for parents and carers to meet others, weigh their babies, and access advice and support.

Whether you're looking for one-to-one support, wellbeing activities, family groups, or simply a friendly place to connect, we're here to help.

If you'd like to find out more about any of these sessions or our other groups and services, please send us a message – we'd love to hear from you! 💙

Wellbeing Wednesdays…

A great first session on Monday at Barrowcliff where we focused on Nutrition
🍎 🥦 🍌 🍅 🍇
We discussed healthy portion sizes, meal planning and how important different food groups are.

The groups will cover nutrition, movement, sleep and mental health and are delivered at our Sparks shops in;
💚 Barrowcliff on Mondays 1-3pm
&
🧡 Fridays at Manham Hill, 10-12 noon.
We encourage sharing experience and ideas around why certain food choices are made and the impact of these.

The groups are supportive, safe, and provide everyone with a chance to share recipes, food issues and an opportunity to look through the range of resources we have to offer.
Everyone is welcome, we look forward to seeing you 💛
