“I’m delighted that with this part funding from Pier Health Primary Care Network, the team of advisors has grown and will be able to offer 12 weeks of free, tailored support to people living in and around Weston. Our Healthy Lifestyle Advisors play a vital role in supporting people to make healthy choices and form new habits to improve both physical and mental health.

More information about the help available can be found on the Better Health North Somerset website which is full of advice, tips and real stories from other North Somerset residents who have been supported by the team.Ĭllr Mike Bell, Deputy Leader of North Somerset Council and executive member with responsibility for health, said: “We’re a council that cares and wants to empower people and communities to live healthy, happy lives. The five new recruits join an existing team who already offer heathy lifestyle support to people across North Somerset. Residents in those areas can request support by completing the simple online health MOT available on the Better Health North Somerset website at Practitioners supporting local residents can also refer people for support via the practitioner page at More than 400 people have already completed a health MOT since the website went live in the summer. It is available to anyone who is aged 18 and over, and who lives in Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding villages. It can be given in a one-to-one or group setting, face to face at the Town Hall, over the phone or via video call. The 12-week support is client-focused, non-judgmental and free. Guidance provided to residents is personalised and follows evidence and best practice guidance from official health bodies. Residents are being offered tailored support to get active, eat well, lose weight and stop smoking. They are on hand to provide 12 weeks of free support to help people form healthier habits and reach healthy lifestyle goals, as part of the council’s ongoing commitment to improving health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities. Five new Healthy Lifestyle Advisors have recently been recruited by the council’s Public Health team, partly funded by Pier Health PCN.
