Over 70 women gathered at a Women’s Wellness Event at South Lakes Leisure Centre recently for a day dedicated to enhancing physical, mental and emotional well-being.
The event brought women together for a series of interactive activities, informative health checks and valuable opportunities for connection and self-care.
Organised by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, the Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT), and ABC Community Network, this impactful event was made possible through funding from The Executive Office, the National Lottery, and the Public Health Agency.
The programme offered a wide range of activities aimed at promoting health and wellness in a fun, engaging and supportive environment.
Event highlights included an inspiring talk and music from local comedian Emer Maguire and physical activities such as dance, table tennis, badminton, and boccia, encouraging women of all ages and fitness levels to get active and try new things.
There were also health checks and complementary therapies providing opportunities for stress relief, relaxation, and self-care plus a wide array of local health organisations on hand to share valuable resources including Women’s Aid, PCSP, Volunteer NOW, Red Cross, SHCST – Breast Health, Sexual Health, Promoting Wellbeing Division, People First and Southern Regional College.
The event cultivated an inclusive environment where women could access information, gain practical health advice, and discover resources that support their overall well-being.
