This was followed by an interactive session for participants to encourage them to engage directly with local services from the community, voluntary and statutory sectors.

Chair of the Council, Cllr Sean Mc Peake, attended the event: “I am delighted that Mid Ulster District Council was able to work in partnership with Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke and the Northern Health and Social Care Trust to provide health and well-being advice to local employees in our area.

“It is vital that a practical, well-resourced and coordinated approach to physical and mental health and well-being is implemented in as many workplaces as possible.”
