News & Events at St Judes Clinic
Moira met with other members of the Women in Business Network (WIBN) Leighton Buzzard group on Wednesday 12th November at one of the regular monthly meetings.
Apart from the regular benefit of talking to other like minded business ladies in the area, there were presentations from 2 of the businesses within the group and an opportunity to view goods on sale from business members involved in sales of products in the run up to Xmas.
Xmas gift ideas from St Judes took the form of vouchers for some of our services such as Reflexology, Pilates, Massage and Sports Massage. A purchase of a voucher currently results in a free wooden massager from the clinic. Buying a gift and getting a gift seems good to us.
The Leighton Buzzard WIBN group was launched 14 months ago and the St Judes Team has spoken on several occasions at the monthly meetings on topics such as back care, acupuncture and nutrition. We hope to do more into the future. For more information about the WIBN visit: wibn.co.uk.

NATIONAL BACK CARE AWARENESS WEEK
4-10 October 2008
If you would be interested in arranging a talk for a local group or organisation please give us a ring. Talks available include:
- Women's Health
- Back Care
- Foot Health and Biomechanics
Moria's talk was excellent and very well received. Moria declined any expenses for her talk but asked if we could make a donation to BackCare which we are happy to do so and enclose our cheque for £30.00"
Moira recently did a talk for the ladies of the Leighton Buzzard Women's Institute. Their £35 donation was forwarded to the BackCare charity to which they replied: "Please accept our warmest thanks for your support and kind wishes. We are extremely grateful for your generosity, which makes it possible for us to continue to provide valuable support for those suffering from the effects of back pain."
Back Care Week - This year runs from 4th -10th October.
This is organised by BackCare - The Charity for Healthier Backs. This year's theme is: Believe you can do it. The team at St Judes will be busy giving lots of talks to local organisations regarding backcare, posture and Pilates. If you are part of an organisation whom you feel would benefit from a talk from the St Judes Team, talks we can offer include: Backs & Backcare, Posture & Pilates, Pelvic Floor, Foot Conditions and Foot Health. The spaces for free talks in and around Back Care Week are now full but please ring us to discuss your needs and book ahead for next year. Although we do not charge for these we do ask for a small donation to BackCare.
At other times our team members are available to do talks at a fee which is variable depending on what is required by the client - please call or e-mail us for further details.
St Judes - Supporting the Community
On behalf of the Friends of Dagnall School I would like to thank you very much for your donation for our Christmas Fayre.
The Fayre was held last Satday and we made around £800 profit which will be put to very good use for the benefit of the children at the school.
