Health Promotion Days
Our health promotion days are often held at local doctors surgeries, libraries, leisure centres, community venues, etc. These days can give you an insight into how to live a healthier and more active lifestyle in your local area. We often provide free Health MOTs which use Tanita Body Composition Analysis scans. We also offer Health Walks and Activity Taster Sessions.Information about up coming Health Promotion Days below.
