Join a team to design and deliver an Action Plan to support local health and keep our community healthy and thriving!
We will be using creative and fun activities to explore ‘Health Creation’ – where residents take action to create their own community based health initiatives. Share your experience of life in Lawrence hill, lower Easton and surrounding areas to describe what resources are available and help make short films. As a team develop and deliver an Action Plan which helps local residents with a health issue important to you.
