The mission is to help people stay well for longer by ensuring access to support and services that promote health and prevent illness.
Sarah Mackay, Head of Adult Wellbeing Services at ONSIDE, said: “We can’t wait to welcome visitors to the fourth Living Well Event and bring an even wider range of organisations together this year following the tremendous successes in 2023 and 2024.
“The aim is to provide a friendly environment for the community to meet and access information. We would also like to invite organisations who offer health and wellbeing support, both locally and nationally, community and volunteering groups, and charities to take a space with us – it is a great networking opportunity.”
Hayley Corbett, Wychavon Health and Wellbeing Officer, said: “Whether you're looking for health advice, community support, or ways to get involved locally, the Evesham Living Well Event will offer invaluable support and advice to everyone in the community.”
Dr Neill Bramble, Clinical Director of The Vale of Evesham Primary Care Network, said: “The annual Living Well Event continues to showcase the wide range of outstanding local organisations working alongside the Vale of Evesham GP Practices to promote a healthier lifestyle and improve overall wellbeing. The event is the perfect opportunity to find out more about all that is on offer locally to support you, your friends and your family.”
