About

Local charity Ruils is hosting a FREE walk-in Community Health Fair in Hampton. The event is for families and people of all ages in the borough.

The Community Health Fair is being organised at part of Ruils' Health in Your Hands project, which encourages Richmond residents to take a more active role in their healthcare by engaging with local healthcare services and supporting those who are at risk of developing long-term conditions (LTCs).

There will be representatives from local organisations sharing information about their services including:

Crossroads Care
SWLEAP
Crosslight Advice
Cooking Up
Enable

There will be free health and wellbeing activities including:

-free massage therapy

A hot lunch will be provided

Ruils is particularly hoping to reach people who may benefit from:
