Day Sponsors

A huge thank you goes to the following local businesses that have chosen to sponsor an individual day of running across our 31 day challenge to run the entire length of the UK.

01.09.24 Day 1 - John O'Groats -Lybster.

Melanie Betts Physiotherapy

All musculoskeletal problems benefit from early, quality assessment and treatment. Our physiotherapists are highly experienced in clinical reasoning and all treatments offered are founded on strong clinical research.

Assessments and treatments are clinic based, but we are also able to perform domiciliary or workplace visits where necessary.

The cornerstone of treatment is based on a “hands on” manual therapy approach; reinforced through prescriptive exercise. Manual therapy may involve the manipulation or mobilisations of joints and soft tissue. Often combining massage and soft tissue stretching. We can complement our
manual therapy approach with specialist, innovative modalities not available at all physiotherapy practices.

Jenny Mills Physiotherapy

Having helped thousands of people over the years, I’ve learnt from hands on experience what works and what doesn’t! You will be in very capable hands, I like to resolve the problem and teach you techniques to help yourself as you won’t be wanting to make lots of visits to me! I work from a beautiful , relaxed semi rural location in Astwood Bank with free parking outside.

I have over 30 years of physiotherapy experience. I qualified as a physiotherapist in 1989 at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham. Acupuncture training was also completed over 20 years ago. I’ve worked in a number of NHS hospitals both as a physiotherapist and now as an advanced orthopaedic practitioner. This means I’ve had advanced training and can request MRI scans, X rays and blood tests and refer on for surgery. Over the years I have constantly attended courses and kept myself up to date, forever deepening and broadening my knowledge.

Appointments available most days. Registered with most insurance companies eg BUPA,  AXA PPP, Vitality, WPA and many others

ALM Fitness

We have heard so many times before from people that come to us for help, that they are disheartened or de-motivated because they haven’t found something that works for them, they’ve tried various diets in the past that just aren’t realistic, they haven’t been able to stick to it, and any hard work that they do soon gets undone. It’s obvious from this that something is missing…

 What we have created is unique programme that works! Our client centred approach means that you, your needs and your goals are the most important thing. We want to achieve every success with everyone that becomes part of ALM Fitness. In order to succeed in this vision, we focus on all of the key elements ensuring they are covered for you…

Bank Cafe & Bar

Established in 2016 after long hours day & night, weeks & months of restoration to bring this historical needle factory back to life. Bank cafe & bar began as an Interiors, vintage & retro shop. Selling lots of antiques, furniture, quirky items, rare vintage & retro pieces. 

We then introduced a Small cafe downstairs which blossomed into a hub for the community, more restoration followed & expansion of the cafe began. Now a larger cafe supporting the community around it

we set out to develop a Cocktail/ Gin bar.

We moved away from our interiors, vintage and retro shop with the hopes to bring this back in the future. Bank cafe & Bar was then created.

Now solely a cafe & bar with the cafe open Tuesday - Sunday and the Bar open Thursday - Saturday evening, We have lots of future plans to develop the bar, introducing live music, events, and food.
