A Didcot community health and wellbeing event took place for the first time on Saturday (November 18).

Run throughout the morning and early afternoon at the civic hall, those in attendance were able to network with community groups, sports clubs and charities catering for all ages.

They were also able to participate in first aid, CPR and blood pressure monitoring training as well as observe demonstrations from Zumba, Pilates and yoga groups.

The event was organised by bosses from Oak Tree Health Centre’s, Didcot Health Centre’s and Woodlands Medical Centre’s patient participation groups.
