Let's Get Healthier Together

We are working with our partners in the NHS and other local organisations on a new health and wellbeing campaign called ‘Healthier Together’. We'll be providing advice and information about how you can make small changes in your daily life that will have a big impact on your future health and well being.

If you're interested in being kept informed about news, events and how you can make small changes that can have a big difference to your long term health, why not sign up to our Healthier Together Campaign!

Summer wellbeing festivals

As part of our campaign, we’re running free Summer Wellbeing Festivals so why not attend one happening close to you:

CHAOS Radio will be live at some of the events and will have roving teams out and about at others, bringing all the fun of the festivals to their shows on the day.

The free festival events will offer you the chance to find out about the 5 themes of the Healthier Together campaign:

  1. Get checked: offering health checks and advice from the NHS
  2. Eat well: information about eating a balanced diet
  3. Move more: taster sessions and advice from Healthy Cornwall and friends
  4. Try new things: learn new skills and find out about volunteering with Volunteer Cornwall
  5. Be kind: look after your mental health with NHS Talking Therapies and local support groups

We look forward to seeing you there!
