A drop-in session for men in Durham City could help transform their lives.
The event, at Ushaw Moor Sure Start Children’s Centre on Tuesday, January 22, is an opportunity to find out more about all aspects of health and wellbeing.
Running from 1.00pm to 6.00pm, it is open to men with children aged under five and is organised by Durham County Council’s Sure Start Children’s Centres at Brandon, Ushaw Moor and Laurel Avenue.

“Advice and support on smoking cessation, heart disease and healthy eating will be available with an opportunity for those taking part to find out their Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure and fitness.
