The Ashfield Wellbeing Network – a partnership of councils, groups and services within the district – is to host three free events this year, offering community-led support for people in the area.

The events provide an opportunity for Ashfield residents to connect with services and find opportunities in the district.

Events include fun activities, networking and stalls.

Formerly known as the Ashfield Innovation Network, the group has expanded from its Sutton base and now runs sessions across the district.

Community organisers, staff and volunteers are all smiles at the Ashfield network's community event in Sutton, September 2022.

Gregg Dunning, of Ageing Well Ashfield north community team, said: “More local partners have joined the network, which is great.

“We now have organisations who support children on board as well. As a result, the network has been renamed.

“We have three new events planned this summer and entry is free for everyone.”

The network had previously launched successful community events in Sutton’s Market Square in partnership with councils and community groups.

Standout events include support for carers, where carers could access help and free advice, alongside other community networking opportunities where community groups, charities and partners met with the public and spoke about their services.
