Health and Wellbeing
Improving the health and
wellbeing of people in the borough is important to us. Wellbeing is
about more than just good physical health – it’s also about the
quality of the environment we live in, our lifestyles and social
interactions.
In Ashford there are plenty of facilities and opportunities to
help you stay fit and healthy. Joining a club can be a great
way to meet new people, get active and keep you motivated. There
are a wide range of clubs and societies in Ashford to cater for
almost all interests - from football to skateboarding. See our
Sport and Play
webpages to find out more.
From time to time we all get ill or need help to lead our lives
to the full. You can find out more information on our Health Services and
Social Care
webpages. You can also find out about the Smokefree initiative on
our Smokefree
webpage.
It is important to us that you feel safe in the environment you
live and we offer various services to help with this, including
Community
Safety, Food
Safety, Gambling,
Licensing and
Protection and
Safety.
And if you need advice and guidance for those times when things
go wrong, you’ll find everything you need on our Emergency Information webpage.
For public service information from the Government on Health and
Wellbeing visit the Directgov
