A council spokesperson said: “Thanks to funding from the Mid Sussex Health Partnership, attendees were able to access free blood pressure and blood glucose tests, as well as have a wellbeing check and a chat with physiotherapists. Ten residents were referred for additional checks after concerning results were identified at their blood glucose and blood pressure test, either with their GP or at A&E.”

Attendees were also able to find out about the resources that are available to support healthy lifestyles from the Mid Sussex Wellbeing team and the Triangle Leisure Centre. Burgess Hill District Lions were there too to serve complimentary refreshments.

Burgess Hill Town Council aims to offer similar health initiatives in the future.

Peter Williams, Leader of the Town Council, said: “Thanks go to the Mid Sussex Health Partnership, who funded the project. We are pleased with the turnout and the positive response from residents, and we hope to bring more health-focused events to the community in the future.”
