Roadshows aiming to give residents healthy lifestyle
give local residents the right support to help them stay healthy and well.
Organisers said there are lots of things people can do to support their own health and wellbeing and the Better Health Roadshows will be out and about across the area to share tips and information.
The CCG are inviting people to attend any of the free, fun family roadshows, where there will be a range of activities that everyone can benefit from.
These include CPR demonstrations and community defibrillator training from the North East Ambulance Service; exercise demonstrations by Everyone Active, showing you ways to easily incorporate stretches and exercises into everyday life; find out more about what’s really in the food you and your family eat, with Change4Life Sunderland; learn how pilates can improve posture, muscle tone, balance and joint mobility, as well as relieve stress and tension; learn how mindfulness can improve your mental wellbeing; discover how massage is not just an indulgence, but good for physical and mental wellbeing; and free health checks, including weight, height and BMI calculations
