Wellingborough BC and NHS Northamptonshire are joining forces today (Thursday) for a free health test and screening event. People will be able to check their height, weight and body mass index at the event, which is being held at the Swansgate Centre. Representatives from the various health charities and agencies, including the Stroke Association, will also be on hand to offer advice. ‘The health checks at this event are free of charge, sensitively handled and open to anyone, whether they're concerned about a particular issue or simply curious,' said chairman of the local authority's healthier delivery group, Cllr Barry Graves.
