Getting East Sussex Moving
The East Sussex Healthy Weight Partnership has launched a new activity campaign called Getting East Sussex Moving. It celebrates the places we can get moving across the county, and encourages everyone to be more active.
Each month there will be a new focus and partners will be posting on social media using the hashtag #GettingEastSussexMoving.
