Connecting the Community

Community Info & Wellness Fair 2023

Stall Holders

We would like to thank everyone who attended our Wellbeing fair.

We had lots of positive feedback from visitors and stallholders.

We had 2 FREE meditation sessions for you to try courtesy of Nagarjuna Kadampa Mediatation Centre. These took place at 10.30 am & 1 pm. The sessions were very well attended and we look forward to welcoming Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation centre back.

We also had FREE spinal checks from Mobile Joints. Sara is a Doctorate in Chiropractic from the US and was on hand throughout the day offering FREE spinal and joint health checks. She was very popular during the day and made many bookings for people to go along and have a free session. We look forward to welcoming Sara back at Duston Fun day and any other future wellbeing events.
