There were about 18 stalls on Abingdon Market Place for the annual Healthfest organised by the charity Healthy Abingdon.
\n
\nThe Reducing the Risk charity was new at the Healthfest. They help people who are experiencing or at risk of domestic abuse. They offer support, advice, and resources. They were the Mayor\u2019s charity last year and are working to make Abingdon a safer place for everyone.
\n
\nDance Creative offered a free dance class. They specialise in helping older people and those with health conditions. Dancing can be fun, healthy, and a great way to meet new people.
\n
\nThe South Central Ambulance Charity raises money to help the ambulance service. They also support volunteers called Community First Responders. These volunteers help people in emergencies until the ambulance arrives.
\n
\nThe Deputy Mayor, Councillor Rawda Jehanli, was talking to stall holders and was impressed by the Healthfest.
\n
\nThe Abingdon Good Neighbour Scheme helps people by visiting them, running errands, and listening. They have been operating since 2010 and won the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2018
\n
\nThe Friends of the Open Air Pool wanted to know what people thought about the pool this year. Most people really liked it. They said the pool is warm and there are lots of activities to do. The only problem is that it\u2019s not open during June and July – often the best part of summer. The Friends want the pool to stay open longer. The last day is Sunday 8th September. The last session is for dogs. It is already fully booked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
