The Positive Health Event is a chance to find out more about the support available for children and families. There will be experts on hand to offer advice on breastfeeding and stopping smoking, as well as healthy refreshments and a community fruit and veg stall.

The centre brings together key services to improve the physical and mental health of young children and their families. It targets health inequalities in deprived areas, encouraging active play and healthy eating to reduce childhood obesity, and reducing smoking in pregnancy and around young children.
