Preston event to focus on mental wellbeing

A free event in Preston is set to focus on mental wellbeing.

The Community Health Fair will take place from 10.30am to 3.30pm tomorrow at Preston Community Hub in Fishwick.

Coinciding with the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, the fair is open to all and will offer information, refreshments, crafts and other activities.

The fair is co-ordinated by Preston City Council and Lancashire County Council to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week in partnership with Preston Community Hub.

The event aims to show people who are struggling with their health and wellbeing what support is available to them across Preston. It is also a way to raise awareness about the advantages that can come from improving your health and wellbeing.

Councillor Zafar Coupland, Cabinet member for health and wellbeing at Preston City Council, said: "The event will be a safe space for the people of Preston to learn more about how they can improve their mental health and general well-being and the effect outside forces such as housing can have on it. I want people to come away feeling more knowledgeable and have the tools to work on their wellbeing in the future."
