Lack of human touch is a major problem for frail or ill elderly people. It causes negative feelings of anxiety, isolation, loneliness and lack of trust in their caregivers. Hand and arm massage is quick, relaxing and provides immediate health benefits, such as improved range of motion for fingers and wrists, improved circulation and reduction of trigger points in hand muscles. It also relieves stress and anxiety as well as promoting sleep. As little as five minutes of hand massage has been found to reduce cortisol levels and produce a physiological relaxation response. Gently pressing the palm and rubbing the knuckles in therapeutic motions has helped dementia patients reduce their agitated behaviour during morning care routines. This practical demonstration and workshop will give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to help the person you care for. Touch can also be a good way of communicating that you care.
Before the workshop, we invite you to join staff from Carers Network to talk about the support and information they offer over a relaxing light lunch from 12:15 to 13:00 when the massage workshop starts. This event is free but please do call Caroline on 020 8740 8008 to book your place and let us know any dietary requirements for lunch.
DATE / TIMES: Tuesday 13th November 12:15 to 15:00

Due to the scale and numbers participating in the Fulham 10K, it will be necessary to implement road closures across the full 10K route to facilitate the safe passage of the participants. The route and road closures have been carefully considered and selected through a partnership of all local authorities, emergency services and Transport for London to minimise the inconveniences of the necessary road closures. Emergency Services will be operating as usual and pedestrian access will be unaffected across the event route, but there will be no vehicle or bicycle access on the roads closed for the event.
Important Information for affect Residents
Living or working in LBH&F? You maybe directly on the event route, or adjacent to it, and we wish to directly notify you of the affected roads and their closure times (click here to see map) to assist in your planning for the day. Please be aware that the road closures could impact delivery arrangements or vistor arrivals that day and we would ask you to plan ahead around these times, and contact us directly if you have any key concerns which we will endeavour to address where possible.
