Benefiting from volunteering for Health
Thursday, 14 October 2010 09:08

Help Health, that’s what you do everyday!!  So said members of the Lay Health Information Network.  The group traveled to Lisburn recently for a workshop on volunteering that was facilitated by the Cities Community Services Development Officer and Volunteer Now.  This workshop was the second this season in support of the ongoing work of the Network whose members contribute to a range of activities in the community to improve health and well being.  The workshop looked at how hard it is to make the link between community activity and health improvement.  Particularly where there is a strong influence from educational underachievement, poverty, unemployment and lifestyle choices.  On a lighter note everyone benefited from spending some free time in Lisburn before enjoying the facilities of the Civic Centre.
