Health and wellbeing events

The Outreach Team attends events to proactively engage with the community, build trust, and increase awareness of available health and wellbeing support. By participating in local events, we can connect directly with diverse groups, including those who may not typically access healthcare services or feel hesitant to seek help.

Attending events allows the team to deliver tailored health promotions, provide on-the-spot health checks, and facilitate conversations around topics such as mental health, sexual health, and substance misuse. These events also create opportunities to distribute information, answer questions, and signpost individuals to further support services.

The main goals of attending events are to reduce barriers to accessing health resources, foster a friendly and approachable presence within the community, and gather insights into the specific needs of different populations. This proactive approach helps us reach harder-to-engage groups, promotes early intervention, and ultimately support better health outcomes for all members of the community.
