Health Challenge Vale Market Stall 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council has relaunched an award-winning market stall providing health advice and information to residents and visitors.

Operating under a Health Challenge Vale banner, the 'All About Health' stall is available free to all voluntary and statutory agencies.

The stall has been recognised by the National Information Forum for demonstrating excellence and imagination in providing information to people with disabilities and others who have difficulty in accessing information.

Health Challenge Vale has been developed locally as part of Health Challenge Wales which signposts members of the public to information or activities to help improve health, and engages with organisations to look after the health of staff and customers. It follows on from a consultation document, ‘Well Being in Wales,’ emphasising that everyone has a part to play in improving health in Wales, not just the Welsh Assembly and the NHS. The idea of shared responsibility was reinforced by the 2004 ‘Review of Health and Social Care in Wales,' showing that the demand for health and care services is unsustainable in the longer term and, therefore, greater emphasis needs to be placed on preventing ill health in the first place.

The award winning Health Challenge Vale Market Stall offers a unique opportunity to promote your services to visitors and residents of the Vale of Glamorgan.

It is available every Tuesday, free of charge, to all statutory and voluntary organisations with a health focus.
