THE NAME SAYS IT ALL

The speedwell, a pretty blue flower used in herbal medicine for centuries, is a fitting emblem for this Trust – in both name and in nature. It represents protection and compassion and its very name sums up the Trust’s prime aim of encouraging WELL-BEING for ALL.

As with many other charities, large and small, the motivation behind the Speedwell and WellBeing Trust stems from one inspirational, well-respected individual. When diagnosed with breast cancer, Sally Baldwin wanted to pursue all available avenues of treatment. She didn’t want to compete with, or ignore, conventional treatments, but simply to make the most of all her options. She wanted to be pro-active and to take some personal responsibility for her own health.

The approach helped her to enjoy not just further months of life, but years. However, as she began to consider her choices, she soon realised how little relevant guidance and information was available about complementary therapies and how to use them alongside mainstream medical treatment.

By establishing this Trust, Sally has provided a more easily accessible route for others to follow and share the knowledge, experience and, ultimately, improved health that she herself gained.

Today The Speedwell and WellBeing trust continues to grow, giving access to information on health matters including complementary and alternative therapies and encouraging people from all walks of life, in varying degrees of health, to take better care of themselves and of others.

Promoting healthier living for all – through information, explanation and greater understanding of natural ways to combat illness and take better care of yourself and others.
