🏃🏾♀️ Checks and health conversations through exercise, social and wellbeing activities
🥗 Healthy heart food and nutrition sessions, including culturally relevant healthy food swaps and cooking demonstrations
🧘🏾♀️ Sessions around stress, mindfulness and relaxation
🧂 Salt awareness: understanding hidden salt, reading labels and making healthier choices
💚 “Know Your Numbers” sessions to help you understand your blood pressure reading
👩🏽🔧Outreach sessions across our community spaces
