Health talks and information stalls hosted by a range of local and national organisations formed part of the Potters Bar Health and Wellbeing Event which took place last week.
More than 600 residents attended the event, wanting to learn more about the health services in Hertsmere. It was organised by the Potter Bar Patient Groups in partnership with us and took place on Friday 13 September at the Wyllyotts Theatre in Potters Bar.
The annual event featured a market place with more than 25 stalls offering wellbeing information services and advice to the Potters Bar community, such as Herts Mind Network, Communities 1st and Healthy Hubs. There was also health talks from a range of organisations and activity taster sessions, such as Clock Cricket, Tai Chi and Mindful Relaxation.
Cllr Paul Richards, Portfolio Holder for Environmental Sustainability and Net Zero and Public Health, said: “I was so pleased to open this event and see so many residents turn out to make their health a priority.
“There is so much health-related support available in Hertsmere and these events help to make sure that support is accessible to everyone.
“I hope all our attendees enjoyed the event and came away feeling they’ve learnt something new.”
