Pam Whitaker, of Lancashire Wellbeing Service, said: “This recognised award from the Royal Society for Public Health will help them become ‘health champions’ and direct individuals towards practical support to attain a healthier lifestyle.”

Attendees included parents and grandparents keen to pass on knowledge to their families.

One of the aims of Healthier Fleetwood is to work with residents to deliver projects which benefit the community. The project was set up as a result of lower life expectancy in the town’s most deprived areas.
