The Community Health Fair is being organised at part of Ruils' Health in Your Hands project, which encourages Richmond residents to take a more active role in their healthcare by engaging with local healthcare services and supporting those who are at risk of developing long-term conditions (LTCs).

There will be free health and wellbeing activities including:

-a talk for unpaid carers by Crossroads Care

-free massage therapy

A hot lunch will be provided

Ruils is particularly hoping to reach people who may benefit from:
