Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it – here are some of the things our service users have had to say about us:
“I can’t say enough how much I value the girls in the shop. They’re always there to make sure I’m OK. I’ve told all my friends about you!”
“We came to have out health checks here about a year ago. It was very worthwhile- my wife had high blood pressure picked up. She is now on medication. Recently she was informed she had high cholesterol. We were given a list of foods to avoid from our GP but were still confused. It was great to be able to come here and have everything explained to us and pick up some leaflets. Thanks very much.”
“Thank you for all the support you offer us. It’s wonderful feeling like we can just drop in to the Booth of Truth or for blood pressure monitoring and always see a friendly face. It’s just wonderful that this is so easy to access. And free!”
The shop has also been highlighted as a great example of bringing health services to the high street in a national report. The Local Government Association has written an article highlighting it's contribution to the health and wellbeing of to communities facing health inequalities in Ashford.
