NHS Rooms
Would some extra income (tax free, by the way**) be really helpful right now? At a time when Bank work is harder to find, and household bills keep going up (AND the car MOT might be due!), maybe your “store bedroom” is overdue a clear out! Re-purpose it back to what it was mean’t for and help a colleague out.
Shorter and longer term stays are needed, so you can opt for whatever suits you best. Maybe you are an “empty nester” but would like to retain the room for your (former) kids to come home at Christmas and Easter? We particularly need rooms within a 30 minute bus ride of major hospitals throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Get in touch today to find out more by requesting our FAQ’s. Email: hiownt.housing-hub@nhs.net
If you need a place to stay, and like the idea of lodging with a colleague, drop us a line! Over 1500 NHS staff have registered with the Housing Hub since 2022.
**Up to £7500 per annum under the government “Rent a Room” scheme
Reinstating Menopause Meet-Ups (Online)
A virtual meet-up to provide a safe space to talk about menopause. Menopause Meet-ups are for everyone, whether you are experiencing the menopause yourself or supporting someone who is, because menopause matters.
There is no set agenda, just an opportunity to share experiences and support each other over a virtual cuppa.
The H&IOW Wellbeing service hope to see you there!
Our next session will be held in August 2025 (Date- TBC)
