Residents in Haverhill will have the chance to attend a free workshop on 12 May 2026, focused on the connection between physical health and mental wellbeing.
The 30-minute session, titled Kelly Mepham Event 2026 MH Banner, is being held at The EpiCentre as part of the Mental Health Foundation‘s annual Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from 11 May to 17 May 2026. This year, the national campaign is themed around taking action to support mental health.
The workshop will be led by Kelly Mepham, a local personal trainer and founder of Train In Sync. With 10 years of experience in the fitness industry, Mepham will provide practical guidance on how lifestyle choices can directly impact an individual’s mental state. Her session is particularly relevant as the Mental Health Foundation notes that physical health problems can significantly increase the risk of mental health struggles, with nearly one in three people living with a long-term physical condition also experiencing issues like depression or anxiety.
This event is part of a broader local focus on integrated health in Haverhill. Earlier this year, a new health and wellbeing hub opened at the former Stourview Medical Centre in Crown Passage. Supported by West Suffolk Council, this hub brings together charities, community groups, and professionals to provide comprehensive support for residents.
