Equality Action’s Free Health & Wellbeing Event

15th Apr 2026

Equality Action is hosting a free Health & Wellbeing Event on Thursday 14th May (11 am - 1 pm) at the Loughborough Wellbeing Centre, bringing together a wide range of local organisations to support the community.

This event has been designed to make it easier for people to access information, ask questions and connect with services in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Rather than navigating different systems separately, attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with professionals and organisations in one place.

Who Will Be There

We’re pleased to be joined by a wide range of organisations working across health, wellbeing and community support, including:

• VAL
• Charnwood Volunteers
• NHS Talking Therapies
• Falcon Support Service
• Leicestershire Recovery College
• GamCare
• Age UK Leicestershire and Rutland’s Alcohol Awareness Project
• Active Charnwood
• LAMP
• Centre of Ethnic Health Research
• Diabetes Self Help Group
• Comfort Centre Leicester
• Cancer Active Recovery Support
• Rosebery Pharmacy
• Healthwatch Leicester and Leicestershire
• NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (Respiratory and Infection Theme)
• Social Prescribing Team for Charnwood (Charnwood GP Network)
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening (UHL)
• Leicester Musical Memory Box

Each organisation brings a different area of expertise, from mental health and recovery support to physical health, research, social prescribing and community wellbeing.

What to Expect

The session will offer:

• Free advice and guidance from local services
• Opportunities to ask questions in an informal setting
• Information on accessing support for both physical and mental health
• A chance to connect with organisations you may not have come across before

The aim is to create a space where people feel comfortable to engage at their own pace, without pressure.

Why This Matters

We know that many people are unsure where to go for support, or may find it difficult to access services. Events like this help bridge that gap by bringing organisations together and making support more visible and approachable.

It’s also an opportunity to strengthen connections across the community, ensuring that people are better informed and more confident in accessing the help available to them.
