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.
