Horsham District Wellbeing service is rolling out free ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’ sessions in the rural areas of the Horsham District this spring.
The service will be providing residents with joint health advice along with the Prevention Assessment Team (PAT) from the NHS in Henfield, Storrington and Pulborough over the next three months.
Horsham District Wellbeing is a free, friendly and impartial service delivered by Horsham District Council and other partners, which is funded by Public Health at West Sussex County Council.
The Prevention Assessment Team will be offering free NHS Health Checks, with a Wellbeing advisor on hand to offer support, motivation and advice on issues arising from the check.
There are age and other qualifying criteria for an NHS Health Check, but the Wellbeing advisor will also be able to give general advice or a 20 minute ‘Wellbeing MOT’ to those not eligible, either on the day or at another appointment locally.
Dates include:
Wednesday March 13 – Henfield Village Hall – 1pm-4pm (NHS Health Checks only available from 2.30pm. Wellbeing advice and an MOT available from 1pm–4pm)
Wednesday March 27 – Henfield Village Hall - 1pm-4pm (NHS Health Checks, Wellbeing advice and an MOT available from 1pm–4pm)
