Local charity Ruils is hosting a FREE walk-in Community Health Fair in Whitton. The event is for families and people of all ages in the borough. Richmond Carers Centre is delighted to be attending. Our staff will be on hand to offer free advice to unpaid carers.
The Community Health Fair is being organised at part of Ruil’s Health in Your Hands project, which encourages Richmond residents to take a more active role in their healthcare by engaging with local healthcare services and supporting those who are at risk of developing long-term conditions (LTCs).
There will be representatives from local organisations sharing information about their services including:
- Richmond Carers Centre

Ruils will be offering free basic health checks as a part of the Health in Your Hands service. Anyone who gets a health check will be entered into a raffle.
There will be free health and wellbeing activities including:
- an exercise taster session led by Whitton Community Centre
- massage therapy
A hot lunch will be provided
Ruils is particularly hoping to reach people who may benefit from:
- Support and advice for unpaid Carers
