Transcript

Hello and welcome to another episode of Hatts, Chats and Giggles podcast.

Coming up in today's show, we've set up our little studio here in Arundale Primary School, and we're going to be speaking to Hayden from Healthy Hyde. Uh, he's going to be telling us about, uh, what they've been doing over the half term. And also, we've got the youngest, we've got the youngest person ever to have been on this podcast ever in the whole wide world, we've got Elliot.

Hi guys. Hello. Hi. Alright, Aidan. Yeah, great to be here. Thank you for inviting me in today. And, say hello Elliot. 

Hi. 

How old are you Elliot? 

Nine. 

Right. What school do you go to? 

Arundale Primary School. 

Phew! That's lucky. I was gonna say, if you're not, if you've been pinfolding you're in Arundale, at half term, that doesn't sound right.

Rivals. Rivals. So, um, thanks for coming in guys. Great to have you's on the podcast. To start off, Aidan. 

Healthy Hyde Overview

Tell us a bit about Healthy Hyde because I don't know anything yet. 

So, Healthy Hyde is a primary care network. We work with, for eight GP surgeries in the Hyde, Duncanfield and Hattersley area. Um, we have different teams within the primary care.

So, I'm part of the wellbeing team and the social prescribing team. We have nurses, paramedics, physios, um, clinical directors, doctors, all sorts. We're actually based in the center of Hyde, um, so people can come in, say hello. We've got a big presence in Hyde now. We used to be based at Hattersley Hub, um, but as we've expanded, we've moved down to Hyde.

My role is the social prescribing lead for children and adults. So in term time, I'm in schools delivering mental health and well being workshops. Uh, working on mindful emotion coaching. So getting the children to talk about their emotions, learning how to handle their emotions, teaching them the science behind their behaviors, why the brain works the way it does, why we deal with emotions in certain ways, and getting them physical, getting them movement, uh, physical activity, showing them the benefits.

Um, when I'm not in there in term time in the holidays, I'm at Arundale, uh, where we host a holiday camp for all. We have a good turnout each time. A big shout out to Miss Stocker from Arundale. She identifies the children. Uh, I have a very good relationship with Miss Stocker, and she does a lot for the children, so it works well having her as my go to at Arundale.

Big

shout going out there to Miss Stocker. Right, so the drop in centre in Hyde, can anyone just turn up there? So it's not 

a drop in, um, you have to have an appointment with your GP if you want to come and have an appointment with a clinical, uh, with someone clinical or with a well being team. We have a range of groups that go on as well for adults, so chit chat group, walking groups.

Men's social group, um, all that information can be received at the Hyde Centre. So you can call in and get all that information. 

And what we'll do for the benefit of the listeners, in the podcast description, if you look, we'll put all these details down. So tell us about why you're here today in the afternoon.

So 

Holiday Camps and Activities

we started this a couple of years ago when I first got the job, we had a chat about if it was going to be full time, part time, certain time only, etc. And we said for it to be full time, what can we offer in the holidays? So I said, well, in my old job, when I was based as a PE coach, um, I used to run holiday camps.

The kids benefited from being active, being out socializing with the friends. It's a safe space to go to speak. Um, so we said, right, well, Healthy Hyde can offer that. So contacted Arundale, get the head teacher, Mr. Hartley was very on board with it. So we've been working here for about, coming up to two years.

So we did start off with it as a May, Easter and summer camp. And now we're in the middle of doing our first October camp. We looked to get. External companies coming in to offer the kids different experiences that they probably wouldn't experience before. So tomorrow we've got iZorb coming in, so the children can experience zorbing activities.

We've done stuff at sail, doing water sports, canoeing, we've done archery, we've done all sorts. So it's just about giving them these different experiences really. 

Right, sounds fantastic and is it free then? 

It is a free one, yeah, um, funded by the NHS. Um, we've also applied for funding so we can run these holiday camps.

Arendelle, they're in a lucky position really. 

Right, right, it sounds absolutely fantastic, the work that you're doing. 

Elliot's Experience at Camp

Let's talk to Elliot. Go on Elliot, tell us what you've, what you've been doing this week then. 

We've been doing dodgeball and benchball and sometimes we do lightning. 

You do lightning? Do you want to expand on what lightning is?

Lightning's basically where someone passes the ball to you and if they shoot, and if you shoot on the person in, that's in there. The person that was in that's out, and you have to go to the back of the line, but if you miss then you go in that. 

Right. So, what do you get out of coming to these camps? What do you enjoy about it?

Um, doing all the activities. 

How many, how many other young people come out on here? Does it a lot? 

Yeah. 

Do you know how many? What number? 

I would say about ten, twenty. 

20, right? About 20, yeah. So do you look forward to it then? 

Yeah. 

And you're here every day? 

Yeah. 

Can I ask a question Elliot? What would you be doing if you weren't at camp?

Probably just being sat at home, doing nothing. 

What, just like twiddling your thumbs? 

Yeah. 

Or going online or something. 

Yeah. 

Did you come here in the summer? 

No. 

No? This is Elliot's first time at camp. So this is his first Right. experience of helping out at camp. So if, so what would you say if, if people are listening to this, if there's other young people who are the same age as you, and you just want to say anything about this club, what would you say?

It's really good and it keeps you 

active. Right. 

Community Programs and Services

Going back to you Aiden, when you said you get other funding as well, is that to top, kind of top up these camps? 

Yeah, it's just so that we can keep going with the holiday camps. Um, so the PCM manager managed to get funding so we can run these camps. All the stuff that we do in schools during term time is fully funded, um, and things like that.

But, yeah, when it comes to the holidays outside of school, they've got funding from other areas and we've been successful with that. which allows us again to get these external companies to come in and give these children the experiences of a lifetime. 

Right, right. How do you feel when you've left Derry?

Are you tired? Um, 

I feel tired but, but sad because I don't want to, I don't want to wait another night to go. 

Right, you don't want to go home, you just want to stay here because you're having a good time. 

Yeah. 

That's a good sign. Why do you think there's a need for stuff like this, do you think? 

I think 

there's 

a lot of holiday active funding camps where children on free school meals can attend but there's also children that are in families where children, families have to go to work, parents have to go to work and financially it's still a struggle whether you're working or not it's no matter what it's still hard to make sure that your children are having a good time you can keep them active.

So the fact that we can open it up to families that do work, and there's no strict criteria apart from attending Arendale, it just means that there's children that can come that wouldn't normally get to experience stuff like that. 

Does this run in other schools then? Is it just Arendale that this happens?

In terms of 

the Health Hyde Camp, it is just Arendale where we run it. Right. One of the biggest reasons again is because in turn time, we run our interventions here at Arendale. They're very much on board with what we want to achieve. We have the same goal. Children's well being at heart, children's mental health at heart, and we want to give them something back as well for getting on board with our interventions.

Do you think there's been an increase in, uh, mental health issues with young people or has it just become more awareness? I think 

it's both. I think there has been more awareness now. Um, but I do think since COVID it's hit a lot of families and a lot of children hard. The whole change. It's through children off, um, adult struggle with change.

So if adults are struggling with change and think about the effects it's going to have on children in school, out of school, in school, working online, working expectations are changing, goalposts are changing. So these children have just been stuck in it, in the middle of it. And I do think now more than ever, there's a massive need in making sure they've got the tools and the coping mechanisms to move forward and make sure that they, they're in a good place going on.

Check out the podcast description and find out a bit more about it. So, we're gonna go over to Elliot. 

Elliot's Hobbies and Future Plans

Um. 

What's your favourite film? 

Probably Jungle Beat. 

Jungle Beat, right. I've never watched it. And what are your hobbies? What do you like doing? 

Playing football. Playing basketball. 

Right. 

Playing with my friends and playing different activities.

What kind of activities do you like doing? 

Something new, what I haven't tried. 

Right. Do you live locally? 

Yeah, um 

Don't tell us your, don't tell us your address or anything because we don't want to give you any, any weirdos, uh, any of our details, do we? Do you know what I mean? 

Yeah. 

So, do you live in Attersley?

Yeah. Big up for anyone who's from Attersley. Big up at all. What's your favourite?

What's your favourite place in Attersley? 

Probably school. School. Yeah. 

Dale. 

Yeah. 

And what, what do you like about this school the most? '

cause it teaches you new things. 

Right? And what's your favorite subject? 

Art. 

Really, that's my favorite subject as well. What, what kind of art do you like doing? 

Like drawing or painting?

Drawing and painting? Well, I've got something to tell you. When you're ten, which isn't far away, is it? 

One more year. 

One more year. Next year, you can come to my creative club that we have at St Barnabas, in the cadet building. We do filmmaking and animation and stuff like that. You're more than welcome to come, especially if you've got a little artistic side.

Tell us a bit about your costume that you've got on. 

It's inspired by the new film. 

What film is it? 

Wonka. 

Have you been to see it yet? 

Yeah. 

What thing was I going to ask you? Did you do any jokes earlier? 

Um, yeah. 

Go on, tell us a joke. 

Why did the chicken cross the road? 

I don't know, why did it cross the 

road?

To get to the other side.

I've got one for you. 

What's blue and white and can't climb trees? 

What 

a fridge with a denim jacket on.

Have you got any jokes? Have 

you got any jokes? Aiden? Ah, I have a few, but when I get put on the spot, what's black and white and red? All 

over what? 

Newspaper.

Don't give up the 

J job. Raven, please. I won't. So what other stuff do El? I do So. 

Well, why don't we start, I mean, 

you've 

told us, I've told you about the children's and young people service, um, the adult wellbeing team, we have health and wellbeing coaches that offer coaching sessions to adults that need some life skills, some motivational skills, some signposting to other services out there and just having someone to support them through to make that next step in their life.

We also have a complex case team, complex case nurses. They do ward rounds in local care homes, making sure that the residents are all fit and well, um, managing their caseload. We have pharmacists, we have doctors, GPs, we have it all really. So a good mix between clinical and clerical. 

The organization then, 

what 

is 

the setup of that?

Is it from the NHS? Yeah, so it's the primary care network, so it's funded by all the HEPs that have funded it. So they all put into it, and we have to make sure that we have regular meetings with the practice managers to make sure that we're offering things that they can't offer maybe, or Take some of the workload off the GPs, so paramedics put clinics on, so if they can't get an appointment with the GP, they'll book in with the paramedic and that's the acute service that they offer.

So, you know, you mentioned social prescribing before, so I think the, so the idea behind it is you're relieving the strain on the health service. Yeah, 

yeah, definitely. Um, so the social prescribing, we have three social prescribing link workers. That you can self refer into, or GPs can refer into and they will help you signpost into local services, whether it's bereavement, financial issues, mental health issues, they will help signpost you.

Um, they will also check in on you regularly to make sure that you're going the right direction to get the support and yeah, they'll can work with you for up to eight weeks. The main aim is to get them out into the community. So encouraging patients to take care of themselves. Um, responsibility for their own lifestyle, make these changes, but the social prescribers will help you access community activities, get you out there, socializing, reducing the isolation that you may struggle with at the moment.

Right. Well, in podcast seven, we've had as the health champions, they've been talking about some of the benefits on some of the stuff that they run. Uh, and I was quite touched by it. Yeah. Some of the stories. But, are we going to invite some young people in there? Yeah, we're going to get some more 

young people in there, yeah.

Is that 

alright? But what do you want to be when you grow up? 

Probably an artist. 

Right. What, like painting, drawing? You want to be Banksy or something like that? Drawing 

and painting. 

Drawing and painting? Right. So what you'll have to do when you leave school, you might have to go to college. But the main one is you just keep drawing.

Just keep drawing and painting, that's how anyone gets better at art, is if you just keep at it. Brilliant. So listen, thanks for coming in. Elliot, are you gonna stick around, or are we gonna get some other young people in? Yeah, 

we'll change, we'll get a few more young, you want young people in. Is that okay, Elliot?

Yeah. 

That's great. Let's go for a break.

Well, we kept, we basically, we have to, um, bounce the ball around, um, and try to hit people. And, um, we we just kept on picking it up and throwing at them, throwing it at them, and then everybody kept on falling to the floor and by the, because it was like a ginormous, um, yoga ball and it just bounced off their head and they fall to the floor.

It's like a cartoon character when he slips in a banana peel. Was this yesterday? Yeah, that was yesterday. I weren't in yesterday. That sounded like fun. Yeah, it is fun. 

So, what time do you come here in the morning?

Xbox, don't you think? Yeah, 

get more focus in. 

So, what kind of things do you get out of coming here? How does it make you feel when you're doing this? 

It makes you feel, um, more healthy. But it makes you very exhausted at the end of the day so you get good sleep as well. It makes my toes hurt. 

It makes your toes hurt?

Yeah, whenever I go home, I wipe them off my shoes. And then I try, I try, um, walk up the stairs. I'm going like, tripping over. And my, and then my legs are like this. Just shaking. Yeah. I don't get off for the rest of the day unless it's Tuesday. 'cause that's when I have football training. 

Right. So what about you Jack?

Yeah, it makes me feel better. And it makes you feel more happy at the end of the day. It makes you, um, when you hear it adds.

Somehow, when I'm here, my toes don't hurt, but then when I'm home, my toes hurt. So when I'm here, I'm happy, but when I'm home, I'm moody cos my toes are hurting. 

I might have to come here meself. I might have to start coming here. You want your 

toes to hurt? Well, 

no, your toes are probably hurting because you've been doing exercise.

Don't you think that's why it is? 

No, because I'm kicking a ball around all day. 

Oh, because you're kicking a ball around all day, that's why it is. What about 

dodgeball and benchball? Then I'm hitting a bench with my toes. 

Whenever 

I'm trying to get on the bench, I'm hitting the side of the bench with my toes somehow.

What about dodgeball? In dodgeball, the ball's getting sent at my toes. 

What's benchball? 

So when you're standing on a bench, One person has to stand on the bench for one. All of you stand on the bench. Go 

on. 

So when you, uh, like, Let's say you get two benches, yeah? You put one on each side. And then there's like four teams, so then two will play against each other.

One player from each team has to go on the opposite bench from the side they're on, so, but, but it's just like dodgeball, but instead of getting people out you need to try and get on the bench, and the person on the bench needs to try and catch the bars, and from by their teammate, get on, and burst on that, um, gets all the players on first wins.
