PLAYING OUR PART ON WORLD HEALTH DAY

We couldn’t let World Health Day go by without taking the opportunity to thank everyone playing a pivotal role in keeping everyone healthy during this time of crisis. Where we can, the Foundation of Light has been supporting local organisations in keeping the north east fit and healthy through our diverse range of programmes. Over the last few weeks we’ve encouraged families to stay active through various keep fit challenges; supported the vulnerable and those in isolation through our Extra Time Hub and continued to work with learners through online resources. World Health Day is a global health awareness day that takes place every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organisation, as well as other related organisations. It gives us the opportunity to celebrate the work of nurses and midwives and in times like now more than ever, remind ourselves of the critical role they play in keeping the world healthy. To raise a smile this World Health Day we've shared our fancy dress keep fit pics, see our Facebook gallery
