Because Only Together We Can

BUILDing A WORLD WHERE Chronic Pain is better understood

Upcoming Events

How Thrive Works

01

— When do we meet?

We meet every Monday morning (excluding public holidays) from about 11am to 1pm.

If for any reason we are not meeting, we’ll always try to post updates on our Facebook Group.

02

— Where do we meet?

We are located at The Hive in Winsford.
This is a fantastic community venue on the roundabout at the bottom of the High Street in Winsford. It is opposite Winsford marina, the college campus and the Red lion pub. There is a small car park between the hive and the Ark pub or the marina car park is a short walk.

03

— How much is it?

We ask for a modest £1.50 donation per visit.
For this we supply hot drinks and biscuits included in your donation.

If you can also bring your own mug, it saves on disposable cups too. Plus we’re always happy when people bring cake!

04

— What do we do?

Sometimes we just sit around and chat with like minded people who also have chronic pain.

Sometimes we’ll do activities; painting, crafting, Tai Chi, chair based exercises.

Sometimes we have speakers from all walks of life, some medical, some not. But whatever we do, we do it with a smile and with friends.

05

— Why do we do it?

Thrive Cheshire recognises that lots of people with Chronic Pain also struggle with mobility and mental health issues brought on or exacerbated by pain. This often leads to them giving up work and eventually losing contact with colleagues, friends and family. Many people with pain are isolated and not able to do as much exercise as they would like. 

06

— How can I join?

If you’d like to pop along to one of our Thrive meetings, please just fill in the short application form and then head on over to one of our Monday meetings.

“Chronic pain patients hide it so well, you can’t go by how they look on the outside. They have to learn how to function with pain, you can’t just roll around on the floor all day screaming in agony. Medical personnel in hospitals don’t even realise this. A chronic pain patient can function with a pain level that would incapacitate any other person.”
