What Have We Been Up To?
On Friday the 13th of June 2025 we had the privilege to go to the Big Health Event and set up a stall! A very fun day with lots of friendly faces.
Big Health Day is an annual event for people with a physical or learning disability, sensory loss or mental health support needs. It aims to be a fun and inclusive event which encourages people to participate in sport, physical exercise and social activities and to engage with services and organisations which can provide support.
