The Churn Project is hosting its first free Community Health Day, Live Well, Feel Well, on Wednesday 21 January, from midday to 4pm, at Cirencester Baptist Church.
The community event will give people the chance to take part in a range of free, drop-in wellbeing activities, including balm making workshops, art therapy, stretch and relaxation and meditation sessions.
There will also be free blood pressure checks and advice from other organisations including Heart Safe, Healthy Lifestyles Gloucestershire, and Workplace Smoking Advisors. All in a welcoming, relaxed and supportive environment.
Michelle Bradburn, Community Wellbeing Coordinator at The Churn Project said: “Live Well, Feel Well is all about creating a supportive space where people can take small but important steps towards looking after their health. Having your blood pressure checked can feel daunting for some people, so we wanted to combine it with creative, calming activities and friendly faces to make the day feel welcoming and accessible for everyone in the community.”
The Community Health Day is part of Blood Pressure Matters, a project delivered by The Churn Project in partnership with NHS Gloucestershire, aimed at helping people access blood pressure checks, understand their results, navigate healthcare options, and explore practical ways to improve their blood pressure and overall health.
The event is open to everyone and The Churn Project is encouraging local residents, community groups and organisations to attend and help spread the word.
