What happens when expert wellbeing support meets a community built on understanding, friendship and resilience?

For the young adults taking part in Barretstown's Five to Thrive programme, it creates an opportunity to reconnect, grow and embrace the next chapter of their lives with confidence.

Holland & Barrett is proud to partner with Barretstown on this unique wellness programme, specially designed for young adults who have previously experienced Barretstown as children, while living with cancer or other serious illnesses.

While Barretstown leads the therapeutic and peer connection elements of the programme, Holland & Barrett develops and delivers the Health & Wellness Day through its trained Wellness Champions and colleagues.

"I found the sleep section very good, because I don't get a lot of it - being a student I stay up late. I am going to take a lot away from today" James from Belfast

For many people, returning to Barretstown means returning to a place where they feel accepted, understood and supported. The programme creates opportunities to reconnect with old friends, form new connections and celebrate personal growth alongside others who share similar experiences. 

This year, our fundraising will help support this magical programme - To support you can simply donate "50c off your bill at the till" when you shop in store and online
