Working in partnership with the local health authority as well as other organisations, projects and services, it organises a range of events and initiatives which create access to the numerous different health services available to the community.

Events/Initiatives

Health Connex

Health Connex is the flagship event for Faith in Health. Held three times a year, the event is a fair where different services, ranging from blood pressure screening to dental hygiene, all come under one roof to showcase their service.

The public are able to talk to health professionals to talk about their concerns or learn more about what the health services can do for them. Additionally, seminars are given regarding different aspects of the health services.
