It is hoped an action-packed well-being festival will help families access support for a healthy lifestyle.
Next month, Copeland Borough Council’s Health and Wellbeing Community Festival will provide free family entertainment alongside access to vital wellbeing services.
Animal therapy sessions, rugby workshops, dance classes and a color run with Gary Mckee, the ‘Marathon Man’, are just a few of the activities on offer.
All are welcome to attend at the Whitehaven Rugby League Club on Friday, August 12, from 10am until 3pm.
Organizations that can help with loneliness, housing, financial hardship, benefits, welfare and more, will be there to offer advice.
Copeland’s Mayor, Mike Starkie, said: “This is set to be a great day for all involved.
“The community can enjoy a day out that is free of charge, beneficial to their well-being and fun for everyone.”
Geoff Blacklock, BEPDT’s Health and Safety Lead, said: “We have embedded health and wellbeing into our improvement strategy to raise awareness of the impact and benefits of a healthy community.
“Our residents are our best asset, and this event will be a great way to showcase the support available to help them live a healthy, happy lifestyle.”
Free refreshments will be provided and there is no need to book.
