A big thank you to Bread and Butter Thing and St Peter’s Church for inviting us along today to support their community session.

Together we filled 65 shopping bags with fantastic food for local residents, and each bag also included health promotion information to help people look after their wellbeing.

Alongside the food support, we shared information on:
• Early cancer detection and screening
• Where to get support to stop smoking
• Help with losing weight and staying active
• Advice and services for reducing alcohol intake

It was a great opportunity to connect with the community, promote healthier lifestyles, and make sure people know where they can access support when they need it.

Thank you again to Bread and Butter Thing and St Peter’s Church for the warm welcome and for the incredible work you do supporting local residents.
