3Counties Holistic Healthcare Summer Newsletter 2024
Hello and welcome to our Summer newsletter
We’ve had a very busy start to 2024 with many people joining our new Self -healing and well-being workshops that we’re currently delivering in 3 locations across Worcester. It is with our thanks to Awards For All for the grant they awarded the charity last year that the workshops have been developed.
In response to the level of interest we are currently training additional facilitators so we can deliver more workshops and in new locations too so we can reach more people in their local communities, which is a priority for the charity.
Applying for grants to support our services and enable us to offer the workshops free or at a subsidized cost to those who qualify continues to keep us busy. As does participating in various mental health and well-being conventions and speaking with other groups working in the sector to share ideas and experiences and explore areas of collaboration. Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council are part of this big conversation.
As a result of one of these conversations Rita Davies, the charity’s founder and one of the Trustees has been working with and listening to providers who want a variety of workshops aimed at the elderly to help address their concerns of immobility, pain management, social isolation and feeling anxious of joining groups.
Rita now offers a bespoke service for the over 65s in our community. There is a small group workshop held at Lyppard Community Hub and Movement and Meditation for St Johns Seniors Citizens.
These workshops include explore breath awareness and mindfulness movement for the over 65s aimed at awareness of pain and how pain can be reduced by using a cognitive breathing technique to ease discomfort. The course also addresses diet and nutrition by encouraging the benefits of adopting an alkaline diet to reduce inflammation.
The Charity’s aim is to empower many more people in our community with life skills to support their mind and body when anxiety and stress takes over. As such, it is our intention that towards the end of 2024 we will provide a monthly support group at the Lyppard Hub and Dines Green Community Centre
Here is just one of many self-healing remedies It called 7-4 -8 breathing technique. Practiced for 3 minutes daily pings the Vagus and the neural receptors in the brain to release feel good endorphins? Helping you to feel calm and relaxed.
Try it! Breathe in for 7 breaths hold for 4 seconds by putting tongue behind the front teeth then exhale for 8 or more.
It remains our long term goal to have our own Healing Sanctuary where we can provide a Drop -in service where people can access various self-help techniques to help cope with the everyday challenges of modern life.
The Charity is planning to provide workshops on nutrition, diet, cooking, art, chanting, drumming, foraging and singing. We wish to liaise with local trainers and sign -post relevant clients to these professional organisations’.
Our funds are stable since we moved from permanent accommodation and now deliver our workshops in the community. This we feel has 2 other major benefits too; we are more accessible for the people who live there and we hope in due course to become part of that community. Currently, we are a regular feature at the Lyppard Community Hub and Dines Green Community Centre.
Would you like to become an Holistic health champion, become a volunteer to help raise awareness, educate, empower people on the benefits of self-healing allowing them to be who they want to be without discrimination?
There are several areas where the Charity would benefit by having more holistic health champions and volunteers to help raise its profile and improve its financial stability.
It’s a lot of work to keep 3CHH running professionally and effectively. Our Volunteer Holistic health champions are extremely valuable and a necessity for 3CHH. There are essential tasks, planning, organising events, producing publicity materials, accounting, the list is never ending and there’s always something to be done to see how the charity can improve or add to the services needed by the community.
Maybe you have specific skills you can offer on a voluntary basis? We always appreciate support even just a few hours each week. If you have time, ideas and would like to be an holistic health champion for the Charity we would love to hear from you. Just send an email to enquiries@3chh.org.uk with your contact details and we will be in touch.
We are grateful to many people who have provided resources such as event venues, printing and publicity, office space and equipment. There is an ongoing need for support in this way. Gifts of items for raffle prizes are also very welcome.
The core requirement of 3CHH as a charity is to raise funds as we do not receive any government funding. Donations of whatever size are very welcome. Help us to feel safe in and staff renting and paying facilitators by offering a monetary gift, regularly and become a beneficiary via BACS Credit card or Debit card via the charities aid foundation www.cafonline.org.uk or direct to 3CHH (Contact enquiries @3chh.org for bank details) and holistic therapy
All donations will make a difference to someone in our community and the sustainability of the Charity– for example
We know from client testimonials that our service is successful. Self -healing workshops are successful!
One of our Clients’ story
Client A had never been on a self healing workshop. She felt tired, lethargic poor sleep patterns and a foggy head. She constantly suffered from headaches and sinusitis. She didn’t like taking repeated medication and wanted to learn a healthy natural alternative but couldn’t afford to pay for therapy.
Client A is an Asian lady from Pakistan, she grew up using Ayurvedic medicine. She came to 4 workshops; introduction to Acupressure massage, explore self -healing, mindfulness movement and explore aromatherapy. At the end of each session client A said how good she felt using traditional techniques which reminded her of her mother caring for her as a child. In particular, the acupressure massage techniques on the head face neck and shoulders gave her the most physical release. Client A enjoyed the explore aromatherapy and made many of her own blends based on the knowledge gained from the workshops she informed the whole group of how she uses all the techniques she learned on her children, husband, elderly parents and friends. She looked forward to her Tuesdays and Thursdays workshops and would say she felt safe with time for herself to relax and unwind.
Please tell us your story.

Winter Newsletter 2024
Hello all
Season greetings, we are mindful it’s not a great time for many and those who don’t celebrate. We want to include everyone in our Wishes of Good Health and Peace on Earth especially with the current wars and troubles here on our beautiful planet. Peace Pole is an internationally-recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. Each Peace Pole bears the message May Peace Prevail on Earth in different languages on each of its four or six sides. There are estimated over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world dedicated as monuments to Peace’s.
To mark the Millennium I contacted the World Peace Association to plant a Peace pole in the garden of Healing Touch I brought it to my garden when I left in 2019.
My affirmation for 2024 is May Peace Prevail on Earth with a focus on every Country at war or in disharmony
