By the time you get this Newsletter the Rotary Club of Stevenage with the Stevenage Borough Council Health Promotion, Stevenage Leisure Limited, Sport Stevenage will be well under way with organising their Health Awareness Day on 14th February 2009.  This is the third annual Health Action Day at the Stevenage Arts and Leisure Centre and will be held from 10.00 am – 4.00 pm.

Last year’s event attracted over 2000 visitors who enjoyed a fun day for the whole family.

The purpose of the event is to stage an awareness day for the general public and to provide information regarding health support, diet and nutrition, cooking, sports, clubs and activities in and around the Stevenage area.

There will be health talks from a variety of medical professionals.  The public will be invited to attend these sessions (free of charge), and there will be a question and answer opportunity at the end of each presentation.

There will be a variety of stalls providing information on all aspects of health and fitness as well as interactive stalls including blood pressure checks, cholesterol and hearing tests.

The public will be able to take part or observe a variety of activities that are programmed throughout the day.

Juanita Duffett, Wellness Manager of Stevenage Leisure Limited, says ‘Last year’s event was such a resounding success that this year we are planning to make the day even bigger and better with more stalls, health talks and activities for all ages to come and experience.  There will be prizes for some of the activities.  You may learn something on the day that could have a huge effect on your health – it could even save your life. – it could even save your life.’
