On Monday 4 September the WoW Bus (Wellness on Wheels) is out and about and making a stop in Lowestoft for a dedicated parent and carer event.

This free event is a ‘drop-in’ opportunity for all parents and carers who want to know more about the early years of parenting which will support children to flourish.

After the success of the first event, the WoW bus will be making another stop and will focus on the following topics:

• Pelvic health
• Feeding your baby
• Stop smoking
• Meeting Maternity Voices Partnership
• Meet the Midwife
• Contraception
• Finding your local health services
• Keeping your baby happy and healthy

This is a free drop-in event, so if you are around, do come and hop on board!

The bus began its journey back in October 2021, supporting the COVID-19 vaccination of our homeless community across Norfolk and Waveney. It was hugely successful and well received across local communities. The roving bus has now evolved into WOW bus, with a particular focus on wellness.

The WOW Bus has been developed in partnership with Norfolk Integrated Care System and Voluntary Norfolk, with a specific focus on reaching out into those communities who do not access health and care in more traditional ways.

The WOW bus is supported by partner organisations across the ICS, including NHS Norfolk and Waveney, Norfolk County Council, the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector and others.

If you see the WOW bus, make sure you hop onboard!
