Introduction

We are delighted to welcome you once again to the Meldrum Academy Health and Wellbeing Festival aimed at highlighting some of the excellent supports on offer within our local community and encouraging all of us to think about how we can take a proactive approach to supporting our health and wellbeing.

Our festival coincides with Mental Health Awareness Week which this year has the theme of “Move More for your Mental Health”.  Movement supports all aspects of our health and wellbeing, alongside the physiological benefits it can also boost our mood, increase our mental alertness, make us feel better about our bodies, improve self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, aid sleep and of course access the wealth of social wellbeing benefits to be had when you are part of a club or group. 

The festival features the following:

• Guest speakers who will be sharing their expertise on a range of health and wellbeing topics.
• Workshops where you will be able to participate in a range of activities which support health and wellbeing and are all available within our local community.
• Stalls which you can browse covering a range of health and wellbeing support provisions.

We are very fortunate that a range of industry experts and organisations have agreed to attend our health and wellbeing festival to share their wealth of knowledge and experiences to provide advice and participation opportunities.  We do hope you find these relevant and useful and of course we would not be able to run this event without their support – I’m sure you will join us to say a massive THANK YOU to them all.
