    NHS Health Checks, funded by Norfolk County Council Public Health, are considered as a midlife MOT and are an opportunity to put right emerging problems, but also provide personalised advice on keeping yourself healthy and active in the future.

    They are available for 40 to 74 year olds who have not been diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease or a stroke and are accessible at most GP surgeries and at over 50 pharmacies across Norfolk. They take up to 30 minutes, you can have one once every five years and it is free of charge.

    Contact your local surgery now for more information on how to book.

  • Have the Christmas goodies left their mark on your waistline?

    Well why not pop along to our very own village outdoor gym?  State of the art outdoor fitness exercise machines will help get those pounds off and re-tone your muscle, whilst giving you the extra benefit of good old-fashioned fresh air into your lungs.

    Outdoor gyms are increasingly popular as an alternative to indoor gyms.  They are free, usually more local and easier to walk or cycle to, no parking problems and can be incorporated into other actives such as one’s daily dog walk or after dropping the kids to school.

    Necton’s outdoor gym, managed by the NRCC, is a wonderful asset to the village and the equipment is new and each item has a clear user guide.   It’s a great place to begin your new year’s resolution for 2015.
