Big Health Day – Friday 16th June

Published
Our Annual Big Health Day will be back for the 15th time on Friday 16th June at Oxstalls Sports Centre in Gloucester.

As always, the day will offer the chance to participate in a wide range of inclusive sports and activities, from archery to walking rugby, boccia to trampolining. Visitors can try golf, tennis, cycling and snooker (among many other activities) and learn about sailing for the disabled or girl guiding.

We'll also welcome back a wide range of static displays from fire and ambulance services, a big red London bus, a DigiBus (which promotes digital literacy and online safety), and a wide range of stands and stalls from services and organisations across the county.

Around 1,500 people enjoyed the event on a very hot June day last year - you can see a short video about last year's event on the Trust webpage.

The day is organised by our Trust's Learning Disability Health Facilitation Team, in partnership with a wide range of external organisations and stakeholders including Active Gloucestershire, Active Impact, Aspire, Gloucestershire Deaf Association, Goals Beyond Grass, Hartpury College, Inclusion Gloucestershire, Orchard Trust, PohWER (advocacy) Sailing 4 Disabled, Scrubditch Care Farm, Adapted Bikes and Trikes and Wiggly Worm (now Wiggly).

More information about the day is available from Simon Shorrick or Karin Parker on 0800 019 3346 or simon.shorrick@ghc.nhs.uk
