Nidderdale Health and Wellbeing Fair

We held the second Nidderdale Health and Wellbeing Fair in October 2024 (the first Fair was held in October 2019).  The Fair was an opportunity for local people to find out about services, support and activities provided by local charities/groups and statutory bodies across Nidderdale and the Washburn Valley that can support wellbeing and good health.  The Fair also represented a great opportunity for organisations to network with each other and build potential partnerships.

The 2024 Fair was a great success and we received some very positive feedback from attendees and exhibitors.  Our hope is to regularly hold the Fair every two years.  To find out more about the 28 exhibitors who were there, please click on the link below to find a PDF with details of each organisation with a brief description of the services they offer and contact details.
