Our new initiative is designed to help residents of the town and surrounding villages to more easily access the services and support they need to live long, healthy lives.

This is being supported by the local GP surgeries, district council, local charities and businesses involved in the provision of healthcare and allied services.

Starting with a free event, the Healthy Town Initiative is a way to access information in one place, and to be able to meet the people who are delivering these services locally.

Our first event was held on Thursday April 18th, there were more than 15 health and wellbeing organisations gathered at the Town Hall, available for anyone to drop in and discuss what help they can provide.

If you are interested in attending future events as a healthcare, group or service provider please contact kaymontandon@aylsham-tc.gov.uk
