Community Health Day
85 adults and children came to the first Community Health Day at Chatsworth Road Luncheon Club in our Clapton Park church. It was so succesful that 200 came to the next one.
There were various stalls, activies, health practioners and food.
Here, Merlin checks out the In Shape display. In Shape is a healthy living network for people aged 50+.
