On Thursday 24 April 2008, SuffolkNewCollege are hosting their annual Health Fair. This will take place between 10am and 2pm in the Forefront.

The event is being organised by first year BA Event Management students at University Campus Suffolk have been given the opportunity to work closely with SuffolkNewCollege on this project.

The theme of the Health Fair is “A Positive Lifestyle – A Healthy Approach to Your Mind & Body.” The event will be targeting the issues of healthy diets, exercise, sexual health, drink and drugs, counselling, mental health and smoking.

When asked to define what healthy living represents, people’s answers are normally a balanced diet and regular exercise. Whilst this is true, healthy living also comprises of mental and sexual health and dealing with personal issues. This is something the Health Fair will be attempting to make people aware of with the organisations that are participating. Organisations attending include The Samaritans, The Iceni Project and Ipswich Borough Council. Hair and beauty students from SuffolkNewCollege will be offering free massages.
