Rotherham Council is asking for residents to feedback about the healthy lifestyle pathway and support services available.
This includes health apps, stop smoking or healthy weight services, so they can develop what’s on offer.
Over the next few weeks, residents can feedback their thoughts about the support on offer by texting 07700 175 776 before 5 September 2022.
If you have tried to change health behaviours or used these services, we want to hear from you. What changes have you tried to make, and were you successful? What factors helped or stopped your success? And if you used our services, did you find them helpful? If you haven’t, what would you want them to offer to help you? What would put you off? The Council wants to hear from you.
Texts cost no more than your standard text message, the responses will be anonymous, and your number will not be kept or used at any time. You may receive a confirmation message in reply.
Feedback from the text messages will be used to develop the pathway and offer of services in Rotherham, helping to shape what is available and how it can be accessed.
Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, Cllr David Roche, said: “As the Council is looking to recommission its services for residents, it is important that we ask members of the public their thoughts on how they’ve accessed these services in the past and, if they haven’t, why not.
“The Council aims to support local people to live healthy lives and to make services such as their stop smoking, healthy weight management, and alcohol services as accessible to everyone as possible so please do take part. Have your say and help shape the future of our healthy lifestyle services.”
Further information about the service available to residents is available on the Rotherham Council website at www.rotherham.gov.uk/social-care.
