Living Well Week

Living Well Week was established in 2014 as a way of promoting health and wellbeing, particularly to older residents.

Working with numerous external providers, the week allows residents to try out a range of activities for free, or low cost, across the borough. The aspiration being that those taking part would then feel inspired to sign up and continue with that activity.
The next Living Well Week will take place from Sunday 6 October to Saturday 12 October 2024.
