By young people, for young people: Youth and Wellness event

A NEW event for the Northamptonshire Festival of Wellbeing takes place this Saturday at the Northampton Academy on Wellingborough Road, Weston Favell.  Aimed specifically at young people, the Youth and Wellness event aims to highlight just some of the many ways people can have fun, get creative and socialise, and look after their health and wellbeing all at the same time.

The day features dance, fitness, music workshops and entertainment, as well as information stands and interactive stalls.

One of the day’s planners and organisers, 16 year-old Kizzy Jugon said: “Looking after your health is important for everyone.  We’ve chosen lots of things that we enjoy so that young people can see just how easy and fun looking after your health can be.

“It’s also a great opportunity to get answers to any questions about health that young people have – and to tell health services what young people want from the services they use.”

The Youth and Wellness event runs from 11am to 4pm on Saturday 12 June at the Northampton Academy, Wellingborough Road, Weston Favell. Entrance is free.
