CHARITIES and agencies promoting health and wellbeing came together in Hereford city centre.

The Engaging Communities event was organised by Primecare, with support from Healthwatch Herefordshire (HWH).

Activities on offer included woodworking and fancy dress; blood pressure and diabetes checks and there was also a charity raffle with four charities receiving donations from Cargill.

Paul Deneen, independent chair of Healthwatch Herefordshire, said: ‘HWH, as the consumer champion for health and social care services in the county, is pleased to co-host such a brilliant event which sees so many members of the public taking interest in their own health and wellbeing, and showcases the wide range of quality services available."
