SALC - Community Health & Wellbeing

SALC - Community Health & Wellbeing Somerset Association of Local Councils are running a Community Health & Wellbeing Programme. Health and wellbeing go beyond physical fitness.

We are working with Somerset City, Town and Parish Councils to deliver, community projects supporting residents health & wellbeing. We’re here to support local councils across Somerset to create meaningful change in their communities. Our Health and Wellbeing Programme supports City, Town, and Parish Councils in developing projects that help residents live healthier, happier lives. In partnership

with Somerset Council and other organisations, we provide the tools, resources, guidance, and grants needed to take action. From mental health initiatives to reducing inequalities, we recognise that each community is unique. Local councils are best placed to identify challenges and deliver solutions that work for their residents. They include fostering a sense of belonging, building emotional resilience, and creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive. Our programme highlights 11 focus areas to inspire activity and address inequalities within communities:

Culture & Creativity

Employment, Education & Training

Environment & Climate Change

Equality & Diversity

Finance

Food & Nutrition

Health & Community Services

Housing & Infrastructure

Physical Activity

Social Connections & Families

Transport

By working together, we can help councils address these factors and improve lives across Somerset. Whether it’s creating vibrant social spaces or tackling food insecurity, we’re here to help councils deliver sustainable, impactful projects. Let’s build stronger, healthier communities for everyone.

🌿 A FREE group bus trip to the Avalon Marshes and Creative Wellbeing Walk is taking place next Wednesday 26th August! 15 places are available for this special event.

💚 The event will be facilitated by Glastonbury Mental Health Network, and is being organised in partnership with the Step, Ride, Thrive Active Travel Project.

🚌 Hop on the 668 Libra bus with us to the Avalon Marshes Centre outside Street Library at 8.55am or opposite Glastonbury Town Hall at 9.05am - returning at 1.33pm. You'll be met at the bus stop so that your fare can be paid and everyone can travel together.

🚶‍♀️ From 10 - 11.30am, enjoy a gentle and uplifting walk at the magical Avalon Marshes, and make new connections. There will be a creative, nature-based activity as part of the session, and a short part of the walk will be in silence. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear, and bring water with you. The terrain is flat and the group will walk together at a steady pace.

☕ Free drinks and snacks will then be available for the group at the marshes centre, and people are welcome to bring a packed lunch. There will also be plenty of time to look around the beautiful Somerset Crafts gallery and shop.

The group will then return on the bus to Glastonbury and Street at 1.33pm.
