Our International health day held on the 24th January 2015 at Winnington Park Recreation Club was a great success. Over 40 members of the public attended to talk to our exhibitors and join in the fun activities we had scheduled throughout the day, such as: face painting, henna, health checks, arts and crafts and dancing.

We would like to say a big thank you to the organisations that had stands at our event (AGEUK Cheshire, Childrens Society, Making Space, Grozone, Vale Royal CCG and Biurokrat) all the performers we had (Olivia - Bhangra dancing, Maple Clouds band and AGEUK fitness session) and Agnieszka for providing face painting for the children, Shapla for providing Henna and The British Raj takeaway and Relish Tandoori restaurant for providing the food for the day.
