Nick Hurley from Mid Sussex Wellbeing said: “This was a great opportunity for Burgess Hill residents to find out more about their health by booking a free community-based blood pressure and blood glucose screening check. Mid Sussex Wellbeing service was delighted to support this event and our advisors had some meaningful conversations with residents.”

Residents were able to speak to the Mid Sussex Wellbeing team and the team at the Triangle Leisure Centre about their resources for healthy lifestyles, while Burgess Hill District Lions provided free refreshments. The project was funded by the Mid Sussex Health Partnership.
