How we can help
Our aim is to help you take the steps needed to start leading a healthier life.We’re here to be your friend and coach, to help and encourage you each step of the way, and to give you valuable tips and practical advice that will help you succeed. And the best thing is that it’s all free!
All our staff, and the many volunteers who help us, are fully trained. Many of them know how difficult it can be to make changes to habits of a lifetime – because many have been there and achieved change themselves!
We’re also local on the ground. In Ipswich we have our main offices and drop-in centre in Turret Lane just behind the Cattle Street bus station (you can’t miss us!), and we have local Community Health Coaches in Bury St Edmunds, Felixstowe, Haverhill and Sudbury - click here for their names and numbers.
Steps to a healthier future. Our approach is to take things a step at a time...
For most of our programmes, this involves an initial introductory session where we can tell you about our programmes and we can find out about you. It’s just a chat so we can let you know how we may be able to help and there’s absolutely no obligation to take it further.
However, if you did want to enrol on one of our programmes – such as quit smoking or weight loss – then these are usually run as a series of short (up to one hour) weekly sessions. They may be one-on-one just between you and an advisor or run as a small group where everyone supports each other. It’s your choice.
