“This is our first Health and Wellbeing Festival and we are really pleased with how organisations, groups and individuals are getting on board with what we are trying to do. We’re really looking forward to the weekend and hope that people from the Borough will take this opportunity to come out and see the range of opportunities that are available to them locally to improve their health and wellbeing.”
Cllr Scott Edwards, Kettering Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for Community and Leisure, said:
“The weekend is about promoting all different aspects of wellbeing, for all ages, including physical, social and mental. This is what the local authority is all about – bringing everyone together for the benefit of the Borough. I hope that people will come along and see what is on offer at either or both of the varied programmes. Hopefully we can build on this in the future with feedback from all involved.”
