Next week, the much-loved Spring into Spring health and wellbeing roadshow returns to Blackpool, with a packed programme of community events across the town.
Running over six days, this popular event will showcase a range of local health and wellbeing services, community groups, and activities giving residents the chance to discover what’s available right on their doorstep.
Organised by the Blackpool Place Based Partnership - a collaboration of NHS, local authority, and voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations - Spring into Spring promises to reach even more communities this year.
Karen Smith, Director of Health and Care Integration, said:
“This year, we are taking Spring into Spring to more local communities than ever before. It’s always a popular event, and the roadshow-style format allows us to reach more people and show off all the great services, activities and support that are available locally. There are various health checks and taster sessions, and people may even find a new activity or group to join.”
