26/03/2025 – Family fun and helpful health advice in Bury Park this month
Luton Council has partnered with Total Wellbeing Luton, Luton Town Football Club, Luton Family Hubs, Luton Muslim Health Alliance, Community Pharmacy, Primary Care Networks and the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board to bring four days of Health and Fun Days to the Bury Park area in April.
From Monday 7 to Thursday 10 April, you can walk-in to see our friendly teams at Bury Park Community Centre (Monday and Tuesday) and in the Eric Morecambe Lounge at Kenilworth Road (Wednesday and Thursday) for free children’s activities, dental health advice, and blood pressure checks between 12pm and 4pm.
Activities for children include arts and crafts and activities from Flying Start (part of Luton Family Hubs). Whilst adults have their health checks complete by our friendly team of professionals, children will be able to access several activities, including seeing the Luton Family Hubs team who will be giving away free toothpaste and toothbrushes.
All attendees will also be entered into a free raffle to win tickets to Luton Town Football Club’s next Under 21s match, amongst other prizes.
Councillor Hazel Simmons MBE, Leader of Luton Council, said: “Knowing your blood pressure is extremely important, and so we are taking a new, neighbourhood-focused approach to encourage residents to step forward and know their numbers. 50% of adults with high blood pressure don’t even know they have it, so it’s clear we need to be taking a different approach than we have previously.
