Well Being Assembly

 This is the third of the meetings to discuss the Hay Community Resilience Initiative.  Previous meetings have been focussed on local food and local energy production - now it's the turn of Mental Health.

The keynote speaker at the meeting will be the Deputy Commissioner for Future Generations for Wales, Marie Broussau-Navarro.

Part of the discussion will be about defining what we mean by mental health and well-being, and then trying to work out what we can do as a community to improve people's mental health and well being.

Questions that the Assembly will be asking include how we, as a community, can catch people suffering from anxiety or mild depression before they need medical help, and how can we build a supportive community?

Tickets are free, but limited by the size of the room at the Swan, and the meeting will be held on Saturday 10th May from 2pm to 5pm.

The Food Assembly was held last year, and the ideas put forward then have evolved - now the Hay group is working closely with Bwyd Powys Food, which is developing a South Powys Food Loop, inspired by a scheme that is already running in the South East of England.  So Hay would have a Hub linked to that Loop of local food producers, to get the food to local consumers.
