Edition: July 2026
Our free wellbeing services are here to support adults of all ages.
We offer in person support for weight management, alcohol reduction, getting active, stopping smoking, nutrition and general lifestyle advice.
In the past, many people tended to seek support in their mid 30s or later, often to help manage health concerns or navigate life changes. We’re now seeing younger adults accessing support and information much earlier. This shift reflects a growing awareness that looking after your wellbeing isn’t something to put off until later in life.
Wellbeing MOTs
Wellbeing MOTs are often the first way people engage with our service, offering a supportive opportunity to reflect on current health and lifestyle. This 1‑2‑1 appointment involves stepping onto body composition scales, a blood pressure check and conversation about your overall health and lifestyle.
What clients gain:
- Clear results of current body composition, including hydration, fat %, bone and muscle mass.
- Blood pressure reading with guidance on how to manage or improve this.
- Practical and realistic guidance on general wellbeing including nutrition.
A recent client commented:
“I had been a little sceptical that it wouldn’t be applicable to me, being in my 20s, but the session was inclusive and helped me understand the different indicators of wellbeing and what I can do to maintain or improve my health.
Since my first appointment, I’ve taken up running and walking more to improve my muscle mass and bone density, and I’ve since completed another Wellbeing MOT to check my progress. It really showed me how important it is to think about your health at any age.
