Birmingham Public Health launches new Wellbeing Zone

On Monday 25 September, Birmingham Public Health will be opening its new Wellbeing Zone. 

The zone will house books and information on health and wellbeing, and create a space for organisations in the city to promote their services to the city’s citizens. We’ll be marking the opening of this area with a week’s worth of sessions at the Library of Birmingham.

The focus of the events will be to raise awareness of this free and accessible space as a community resource for accessing information and advice, learning about local projects, and taking part in interventions that promote the five core themes of the Birmingham Health and Wellbeing Strategy:

  1. Health and Affordable Food
  2. Mental Wellbeing and Balance
  3. Active at Every Age and Ability
  4. Contributing to a Green and Sustainable Future
  5. Protect and Detect

This is an open event to showcases community led activities available in Birmingham and to generate discussions around what health and wellbeing means in Birmingham. Along with scheduled activities throughout the week, there will be information available and several local artwork displays.

You are welcome to join us at any time during the week, however, please register your attendance for any of the presentations below as we expect these sessions to be popular and space will be limited.
