Service’s £414k funding

The Arun Wellbeing Service has been helping residents keep fit, happy and healthy since 2009 and funding has just been approved for another five years.

A £414,024 grant has been secured to help the service continue to provide advice and support to residents looking to make positive lifestyle changes.

The service has helped residents take up gentle exercise, cut down on drinking, quit smoking and improve their diets.

Some of the funding – £30,000 – has already been earmarked to deliver a falls prevention programme with Age UK and Freedom Leisure.
