West Park Library promotes healthy, happy living

West Park Library is teaming up with local health and social care agencies to host a special wellbeing event on Friday 31 May.

‘Healthy and Happy Lives’ will run from 2pm to 4pm and will provide a wide range of information and advice on keeping fit and well.

Plymouth Community Healthcare will be offering advice on cancer awareness and risk reduction and weight management, as well as health checks and screening.

The WRVS will be promoting its Plymouth Good Neighbours Scheme and a range of opportunities to volunteer in the community and Plymouth Carers Forum will be offering advice and information for carers.

Visitors can also browse the library’s health and wellbeing resources and anyone who isn’t yet a member can join for free on the day. Refreshments will be available.

Plymouth City Council’s library service provides information and support on a range of health and social care issues and services. This includes a selection of health titles in all libraries, as well as staff who are trained to help you find the specialist information you need.
