working to
make a difference
Events are an important way for us to help achieve our goals. They facilitate connections between our community and local organisations, and are a great opportunity for us to listen to the community’s thoughts about what they want from Wellmoor.
wellfest
The first Wellfest was held in February 2019. We had 40 local organisations represented and a busy programme of events including 5 talks by individuals from local health and wellbeing organisations, 3 musical performances, 6 drop-in sessions and workshops and fabulous local food. Moretonhampstead Parish Hall was packed with local people and the feedback we received from both local organisations and the general public was overwhelmingly positive.
We’ll be holding an even bigger and better Wellfest in February 2020!
Working together on wellbeing
In June 2019 we held a meeting with a number of local organisations who attended Wellfest, as well as representatives of other regional organisations and statutory health services to talk about their needs and about how Wellmoor can help facilitate the growth of health and wellbeing provision in our community. It was great to hear people’s thoughts and ideas, and to see just how much is happening in the field.
We held a second meeting in October 2019 to continue developing our plans for a Wellbeing Network, co-ordinated by Wellmoor and to be funded from 2019-2020 by a National Lottery Awards for All grant. As part of this event, Teign CVS offered a free training session to delegates about attracting and managing volunteers.
