Family fun day for our CEW service
Our Complications of Excess Weight (CEW) Service hosted a Family Fun Day bringing together families and staff for a day of connection.
The team is dedicated to supporting children and families across the region to improve their health. It brings together experts from different fields, working to deliver personalised and compassionate care tailored to each child’s unique needs.
During the event families enjoyed a whole host of fun activities, including crafts, cookery, an Inspire physical activity workshop, mindfulness and guided relaxation.
One of the attendees said: "This was absolutely wonderful. We didn't know what to expect at first but once the fun started, they had the time of their life. Five stars (and the rest) from us.”
The event funded by our Charity, brought together 62 attendees for a day filled with connection, creativity, and fun at The Factory Young People’s Centre.
Kiran Duggal, Family Support Worker, shared: "Our aim was to create a safe, welcoming space where families could try new experiences, spend quality time together, and build meaningful relationships with both the team and one another.”
Tracie Davies, Hospital Social Worker, added: “In a world where obesity is often met with stigma and judgement, it was truly powerful to bring families together in a supportive environment where they could feel understood, encouraged, and empowered. We were also pleased to welcome Autism West Midlands, who provided valuable mini advice sessions for families.
“Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so memorable."
