💙 REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS. REAL IMPACT at Oxford Terrace and Rawling Road Medical Group

Sometimes we're so busy delivering our programmes that we forget to stop and look at the difference we're actually making!

We've been pulling together our 2026 data from our Weight Management and Every Move Matters programmes, and WOW… we're so proud of these results! 🙌

📊 Here's what the data is telling us:

⚖️ 4.9kg average weight loss among 41 participants with completed measurements.

👏 95% of those participants lost weight!

🎯 19 people achieved at least 5% weight loss!

🚶‍♀️ Our Every Move Matters participants improved their mobility, with an average 1.55-second improvement in their Timed Up and Go test.

❤️ Participants also reported improvements in their overall health and wellbeing.

But for us, it's about SO much more than numbers on a spreadsheet!
It's about people feeling healthier, moving more easily, building confidence and having somewhere they feel supported and belong.

We're incredibly proud of our team and every single person who's joined one of our programmes and taken steps towards improving their health.

THIS is why we do what we do! 💙
And we're not stopping here!
