Head down to Broadgate for the Wellbeing for Life festival - now in its fourth year!

Wellbeing for Life Festival | Events in Coventry

• Date: Saturday 16th September
• Time: 10am - 4pm
• Location: Broadgate, Coventry, CV1 1LN
• Price: FREE
• Booking: No need to book, just turn up!

The event is being organised in conjunction with Coventry City Council, Warwickshire County Council and the Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Partnership Trust. The festival will feature over 30 stands from these statutory services and voluntary and community (VCSE) organisations that offer health and wellbeing support.

The Wellbeing for Life festival aims to advise the public all about looking after their physical and mental health - from promoting services, signposting opportunities, and hosting activities, all in the name of helping people improve their wellbeing.

The festival also follows World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September, during which the key theme is ‘creating hope through action’.
The focus is about reflecting on how you can support yourself or someone in your life who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or suffering with their mental health. By showcasing as many support networks all in the same place on the day, we hope to create a positive space for all, by encouraging understanding and awareness.
