Christmas Gift Appeal

Christmas Gift Appeal

At Varney Green Physiotherapy, we believe in the power of community, and every Christmas, we ask for your support to make a difference in the lives of local children. For seven years, we’ve partnered with Essex County Council to collect gifts for children in Harlow and the surrounding areas—children who, without your generosity, might face Christmas morning without a present under the tree.

Each year, the outpouring of kindness from our patients and local businesses is heartwarming, but it’s also a reminder of the challenges many families in our area face. While it’s wonderful to see the joy your donations bring, it’s heartbreaking to hear the stories of families struggling to provide even the basics.

With your help, we can surpass last year’s donations and ensure that no child is left without something special this Christmas. Your generosity makes such a difference to those who need it most.

 

Help Us Spread Joy This Winter!

At Varney Green Physiotherapy, we believe every child deserves to wake up with a gift on Christmas morning. For many local children, this isn’t always a reality. That’s why, in partnership with Essex County Council, we’re running our annual Christmas Gift Collection—bringing festive cheer to those who need it most.

This year, we’re excited to launch our JustGiving campaign to make donating even easier. Your generous contributions will allow us to buy gifts, clothing (like warm coats and shoes), and experiences (such as trips to the cinema or bowling) for children who otherwise might go without.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a huge difference. Your support can help ensure that a child in our community feels the warmth and joy of the holiday season. Here’s how your donation can help:

  • £10 could provide a cozy winter hat and gloves.
  • £20 could buy a pair of warm boots or a winter coat.
  • £50 could sponsor an exciting day out for a child and their family, such as a cinema or bowling trip.
  • Even £1 could help, please donate if you can.

Let’s make this winter brighter together. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us support local children in need!

Happy Holidays,
The Varney Green Physiotherapy Team

Back in January 2023 I ruptured my achilles tendon and have since needed soft tissue therapy towards the latter end of my recovery. Every time I touch base with

Tom I feel assured and even more motivated to get back into competition level fitness.

With the variety of resources available at Varney Green Physiotherapy I have strong belief that I will make an efficient and effective return.

I have been having physiotherapy sessions with Aimee after I was hit by a reversing car which resulted in my dominant arm being very badly injured. Aimee is very professional, knowledgeable and confident. She is always cheerful and friendly.

She has supported me both physically and mentally which has helped me to cope through this dark period of my life. I will always be indebted to Aimee. I have recommended her to all my friends. Thank you .”

I damaged my knee playing football and was recommended to see Varney Green Physiotherapy. This was the best choice I made as Tom diagnosed me and started treatment straight away.

Within 6 weeks I was back to full strength. I would also like to thank Aimee who made me feel comfortable and made all sessions enjoyable.”

C.C. - Harlow

“Harriet is a wonderful physiotherapist and did an amazing job locating my problem and giving me solutions, exercises and a clear explanation to what was going on. I came away with less pain and very happy. Thank you very much!”

E.T-Y. - Puckeridge

“I came to Steve with quite a bad hamstring tear, a recurring problem, we started off with some treatment and then straight into strengthening the muscle. I saw a ridiculous amount of progress from when I started to the day I left.

I had my first football game back yesterday and I have never felt stronger and fitter than yesterday and no injuries!

I must also say Steve was one of the nicest people I have met a fantastic character and personality. Couldn’t be happier with my experience.”

I’ve suffered from intense migraine attacks for 20 years. Tom has changed this, I’ve gone from at least one migraine every fortnight to being migraine free for over three months. It’s a game changer!!

J.R. - Harlow

I’ve been seen by Matt a few times over the past few weeks, and it’s really been the kind of deep tissue massage I’m after. I won’t say it’s relaxing, but it certainly has helped reduce those ‘knots’ of tense muscles that generate low level discomfort that you just end up living with.

You might end up swearing while he’s doing it, but you’ll certainly feel the benefit!

Highly recommended for those that are looking to bust those knots!”
