An end-of-year reflection on our community activities in 2025 Relationships are central to our clinical approach at CHT, and one of the most enjoyable ways these relationships are built is through shared days out and activities that bring people together.

As the year end approaches, we take a look back on our community activities in 2025 and share some of the key elements that we believe make events meaningful, successful, and supportive of recovery.
