Cllr Julia Huffer, chair of the Council's Operational Services Committee, said: "We're out speaking to residents in East Cambridgeshire all the time and they are always keen to know what activities there are to do and where they can go to get help and advice if they need it.

"Our Health and Well Fair is bringing these two things together. People can go along and have with fun with the sports activities and events taking place on the day. But there will also be an opportunity to have more thoughtful conversations around cost of living advice, climate change, health and wellbeing and how to keep yourself safe. 

"So whether you want to just have an enjoyable free day out with friends, or find out more about the support and services that are available - or both, it's guaranteed there will be something for everyone on the day."

The event is taking place between 11am and 3pm.
