We would love to invite you to attend our FREE, FUN and FRIENDLY upcoming Connectors Health Information Sessions at The Makerspace in Bognor. The Community Connectors team at The Makerspace is a partnership with VAAC and made up of Makerspace members.

Our monthly programme will be run by our wonderful volunteer Community Connectors – Kate, Tina, Howard. Their role as connectors is to chat and engage with you about health issues and they will offer support and signposting to any information you require to access the health interventions that exist locally.

Each session will be relaxed, fun, informative and will take place between 12 – 2.00 pm.
Each session will involve food! Yes, we will be offering refreshments and a light lunch, so please come along and join us. Each session will be facilitated by Connectors and a local health expert who will chat to you about the topic, answer questions and make suggestions that could improve your health. Rest assured no one will be put on the spot, or expected to talk about anything personal to do with your health

Wednesday 31st January – Sustaining fitness and wellbeing 12-2.00pm – Tips for carrying on with fitness, healthy eating and mental wellbeing when the willpower fails us!

Wednesday 14th February – Healthy Habits (alcohol, smoking and healthy eating) 12-2.00pm – Do you know that many of us underestimate the amount of alcohol we drink on a daily basis? How can we develop healthy eating and cooking habits – and more to the point sustain these.

Wednesday 20th March – Blood Pressure Monitoring 12–2.00pm – Come and have your blood pressure tested and learn more about keeping your blood pressure normal.

Wednesday 17th April – Cancer Screening 12-2.00pm – Did you know that there are free screening services for everyone that can detect cancer early and can help prevent serious illness? We aim to take the fear out of these services.

Wednesday 22nd May – Emotional wellbeing 12-2.00pm – Tips and pointers for looking after our emotional and mental wellbeing – this is about self-care, you are not alone.

All are welcome so please do join us.
