Healthy in the Hutt returns to Taita on Saturday 29 July
Following the success of last year's free event, Housing New Zealand, Hutt City Council and the Eastern Hutt Rotary Club are bringing back Healthy in the Hutt to the Walter Nash Centre from 11am - 2pm on 29 July.
More than 15 agencies and services will have stands full of information from free health checks, to tips on fire safety, earthquake strengthening and you can book a free visit from a council Eco advisor for a home health check (whether you rent or own).
There will also be fun experiences for children such as face painting and give aways not to mention a FREE lunch.
You don't have to book, just come along and enjoy this day of being Healthy in the Hutt. Make sure to tell your friends about it.

So we want to hear what you think:

-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
