Prestwich and Whitefield Wellbeing Support Pack
“Not being able to get out very much I’ve found this pack really useful in giving me something to do and feeling like a part of the community. I look forward to receiving the pack each quarter and am really pleased I’ve been asked to contribute something too” D – Prestwich
