Do you Know Your Numbers? 🩺❤️

We are getting involved in Blood Pressure UK campaign Know Your Numbers! Week, running from 8th - 14th September, helping to look for the missing millions.

Blood Pressure UK share: “Right now, 5 million UK adults aged 18-64 may have undiagnosed high blood pressure – increasing their risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Many don’t even know it.”

Why not pop in during 8th - 14th September for a free blood pressure check on Everybody Health & Leisure's self-testing blood pressure machines throughout the borough.

Blood pressure checks are available to anyone aged 18 and over, no booking required, just drop in during opening hours.

The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

If you need to opt out for any reason, find out how: https://www.gov.uk/alerts/opting-out
