 https://www.livelifebetterderbyshire.org.uk/latest-news/know-your-numbers.aspxAround a third of people in the UK have high blood pressure, but most don’t know it. It doesn’t have any symptoms so the only way to find out is to have a blood pressure check.
High blood pressure can lead to serious health conditions including strokes and heart attacks.
During Know Your Numbers Week people are encouraged to get their blood pressure checked.
Our Live Life Better Derbyshire team will be out in Derbyshire offering free health MOTs including blood pressure checks.
Find out where the team will be online here.
 September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day – an annual event which aims to start open, frank conversations around suicide and what we can all do to help prevent it.
Every suicide is devastating and has a huge impact on friends, family and the wider community.
By raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide and encouraging action, we can all help to reduce the instances of suicide and offer support to people who need it.
World Suicide Prevention day is an opportunity to talk about this all too often taboo subject and offer support and understanding.
