A new 'Talking Bench' initiative is being launched in Shepton Mallet.

Health Connections Mendip has launched the scheme so that people can come and chat to a Health Connector and find out more about what the service can offer, and how it can help them.

Health Connections Mendip aims to support people to feel healthier, happier and feel more connected.

The Talking Benches are outside the Collett Park Cafr and Health Connectors will be there between 11am and noon on Wednesday, August 10 and 17.
