A GROUP dedicated to bringing together women from west Middlesbrough for a little bit of pampering has been relaunched.

Women's Improvements and Shared Health (Wish) aims to provide women of all ages with a range of new skills and experiences from its new base at the Whinney Banks site of the Early Excellence Service, in Stainsby Road.

The fortnightly sessions are being re-launched by West Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Trust's (WMNT's) health team. Women can now look forward to pampering sessions including hair and beauty, reflexology, aromatherapy and a range of taster courses including first aid, arts and crafts, drugs and alcohol awareness and more.

Joan Ford, chairwoman of WMNT, said: "This group gives women of all ages and backgrounds in west Middlesbrough the chance to get together.

"Wish offers a whole range of exciting taster courses and skills that are of interest to women and, better still, they are free."

Child care is available if booked in advance.
