It’s Month of Hope, and Hayley and Lucy are chatting to Tracy from Be Well and Hazel from Public Health to find out more about what’s happening across the borough.
They hear about the 2000 Flowers of Hope that have been hand crocheted by community organisations, the Hub of Hope, a free mental health support directory by Chasing the Stigma, and how Be Well’s walking programme is changing lives and boosting mental health for Wigan Borough residents.
