The weather may have been a bit cold and grey so far in 2026, but the welcome is always warm in the Live Well Hub. Find out what happened in February, and what we’ve got planned.
Catwalk Cabaret
We’re delighted to announce that our Catwalk Cabaret sold out before we could make tickets available to the wider community. We are looking for sponsors for the event to cover the cost of our models’ tickets, as well as auction and raffle prizes for the night – thank you to Newcastle United and The Barbour Foundation for donating so far. We’re also looking for volunteers to sell raffle tickets, which are now available for sale on our website and in the Live Well Hub.
Healthy Habits Masterclasses!
In recent weeks, we’ve been delighted to host sessions with the incurable cancer support group in Billingham and the Cramlington and Wansbeck MRI teams in the Live Well Hub. We have the first two dates for our regional prehabilitation workshops at Cramlington Health Care Academy and Riverside Stadium, with more to come over the coming months. We’re especially excited for our Live Well with Healthy Habits Masterclasses at the Live Well Hub.
