Family Wellbeing Event

Come along!

We invite you to join us on 2nd November 2024, from 10am to 3pm at The Dorford Centre, Dorchester, for an exciting Community Health and Wellbeing Day. Enjoy a day filled with refreshments, fun activities, and the opportunity to connect with key members of the Primary Care Network Team. You’ll also have the chance to meet representatives from a variety of local support organisations offering valuable advice and resources.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the services available to you, with information on carer support, youth clubs, mental health services, dementia support, financial advice, and many other important local services designed to improve your health and wellbeing. Whether you're seeking guidance for yourself, a family member, or a friend, there will be plenty of helpful advice and friendly faces to talk to.

This event is free to attend, and no booking is required for the general activities—just drop in anytime between 10am and 3pm. Whether you're looking for support, seeking a bit of relaxation, or just curious about what’s available in your community, we’d love to see you there!
