Community Health Champions Host Health and Well-Being Event

Earlier this month we partnered with the Zone Family Hub in Nelson, and worked alongside the Community Health Champions to host a health and well-being event in partnership with Pendle West PCN, Lancashire Public Health, and the Lancashire Children and Family Wellbeing/Family Hub Network also got involved to help bring together the event was held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and successfully brought together 22 health and community services to engage with local residents and promote essential health initiatives.

Organized by 15 dedicated Community Health Champions, the event welcomed 56 attendees, offering a space for residents to connect and learn about local services for their health. A key focus was promoting cancer research, providing information on cancer symptoms, encouraging cervical screening, and giving attendees the opportunity to book their screenings on-site.

During the event, the Community Health Champions also ran the North West Cancer Research stand, ensuring visitors received valuable information while enjoying refreshments, including sandwiches, fruit, and water. A special hand massage stand added a relaxing touch to the day, making the event both informative and enjoyable for attendees.

This collaborative effort highlighted the power of community-driven initiatives in promoting health and fostering connections.
