Residents are invited to a launch event for a new health and wellbeing service.

Connect Well will be launched at the Maldon District Council offices in Princes Road, Maldon, on Tuesday from 10am.

The initiative aims to help and support the health and wellbeing of people in Maldon, Braintree and Chelmsford.

Ron Pratt, chairman of the community services committee, said: “This new initiative can help us to help our local communities, and offers people the opportunity to seek support before they develop a more serious health condition.”
