Everyone should strive for good health and wellbeing in their lives and the lives of others. Health is of paramount importance, but many people do not make eating well and exercising a priority until their health deteriorates. We should remember that prevention is better than cure and also that having a healthy mind is just as important as having a healthy body.

We live in a rapidly changing and complex world with many calls on our time and attention. But we must not neglect the most important thing of all – our health.

These pages aim to provide advice and guidance to help everyone to maintain good health. The pages cover what are commonly accepted to be the main health concerns and conditions in our society. There is information, advice, guidance, links and contact details to a range of professionals, support groups and services. This is carefully selected and regularly updated material. However, our first and foremost piece of advice is that if you have any concerns, worries or require help or advice, then speak to your local surgery or ring 111.

If you need support in seeking help or advice Lincolnshire Traveller Initiative can be contacted by ringing or texting 07503878740 or by email: theteam@lincsti.co.uk

All contacts will be treated in strict confidence.

LTI would like to acknowledge the help given by Healthwatch Lincolnshire in putting together these pages and also the contribution of members of the Traveller community who made many suggestions about the content.
