Cllr Julia Huffer, chair of the council's Operational Services Committee, said:

"Our free Health and Well Fair is returning for a second year due to popular demand. It's a fantastic opportunity to find out what activities are taking place in the district and where to get help and advice when you need it. People an go along and have fun with the sports activities and events taking place on the day. But there will also be an opportunity to have more thoughtful conversations around cost of living advice, climate change, health and wellbeing and how to keep yourself safe."So, whether you want to just have an enjoyable free day out with friends, or find out more about the support and services that are available - or both, it's guaranteed there will be something for everyone."
