When was the last time you took some time to look after your health and wellbeing?
Residents are invited to two events in Luton on Thursday (October 4) where they can get free health checks and information to help them live healthy lives.
At Saints Community Centre in Solway Road North, older people are invited to visit from 11am-2pm for cheks by a local NHS team including BMI and blood pressure measurements.
They can also find out about how to get the most out of later life by having fun and keeping fit and safe, as well as taking part in activities like short-mat bowls and tasting healthy snacks.
At Chaul End Community Centre in Dunstable Road, a similar event is taking place from 3-6pm for the wider community.
The Chaul End event was organised after residents agreed as part of the Council’s ‘Your Say, Your Way’ programme that tackling obesity was a priority and that there was a lack of information about health and dietary needs.
Health trainers will again be on hand to provide one-to-one consultations and tips on healthy eating and exercise.
Cllr Mahmood Hussain said: “I encourage you to pop into one of the events for a free health check and to take away important information that can assist you in every day life such as healthy eating, weight management, exercise and quitting smoking.”
Both events are free. For more information call Saints Community Centre on 01582 56 66 07 or Chaul End Community Centre on 01582 55 71 55.
