Bexhill Health and Wellbeing event is a big success
The Bexhill Health and Wellbeing Showcase brought together healthcare professionals, community organisations, support services, and residents at the De La Warr Pavilion on Wednesday May 6.
The event highlighted the strength of partnership working across Bexhill and East Sussex, showcasing a wide range of essential services including mental health support, physiotherapy, family wellbeing, social prescribing, preventative healthcare, and community engagement initiatives aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of local residents.
Among those attending was Cllr Abul Azad, Vice Chairman of East Sussex County Council, who praised the collaborative approach demonstrated throughout the event.
He said: “It was a privilege to attend and see so many organisations working together with one shared purpose — supporting the health, wellbeing, and quality of life of our residents. “Events like this demonstrate the true strength of partnership working within our community. Bringing healthcare services, support organisations, and residents together under one roof helps raise awareness, encourages early support, and strengthens community connections. “I would like to sincerely thank the Primary Care Network partners, organisers, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone involved for delivering such a positive and meaningful event for Bexhill. Together, we can continue building a healthier, safer, and stronger community for all.”
Nicky Hodge, Education and Events Co-ordinator, also welcomed the success of the event and praised the collaborative spirit shown throughout the day.
“It was fantastic to see so many local organisations, healthcare professionals, community groups, and residents coming together in such a welcoming and positive environment. The showcase was created to help people access valuable information, support services, and wellbeing resources more easily, while also encouraging stronger community connections across Bexhill. “We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who attended, contributed, and supported the event. In particular, we are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, partners, exhibitors, volunteers, and organisers whose dedication and generosity played a vital role in making the showcase such a meaningful success for the community.”
