“We are really keen to highlight how important it is to stay active this winter throughout Self Care Week 2022, we are delighted to have partnered with Active Essex to deliver this message.

“There are so many different options that there is bound to be something that everyone can enjoy, I would urge everyone to visit local NHS website to find out how they can get involved.”
