Councillor Jenna Ho Marris, North Somerset Council’s Cabinet Member for Homes and Health, said: “I’m delighted we’re hosting a third Wellness in Action day, building on the success of previous years. Our event is all about helping our communities prepare for the challenges that winter can bring.
“There’s so much we can all do to protect and improve our health during the colder, darker months of the year. With advice, walk-in flu and Covid vaccinations, liver health checks and a huge range of support all available in one place, the event is a brilliant opportunity to access the free resources and local support available that can make a real difference.
