Area 1 Church Volunteers Bring Health and Love to Royal Cornwall Show 2023
For many years now the churches of Cornwall and Devon have had a presence at the Royal Cornwall Show. This year was no different as we welcomed visitors to our stand and offered free health checks, blood tests and the opportunity to make their own refreshing juice drink, with the smoothie bike challenge.
From the moment we opened until a few minutes before we closed we continually had a steady stream of people taking advantage of the cholesterol and blood sugar test offered by our volunteer nurses, whilst other volunteers measured BMI and blood pressure. We also offered a health age questionnaire, and after this our visitors were gifted with a pack containing a Vibrant Life magazine, leaflets offering emotional health support from Cornerstone, and some Christian literature.
The smoothie bike challenge was very popular. Our visitors (as well as the staff!) rode in pairs against each other and loved the challenge of trying to beat the top score of the day, whilst making their own personal smoothie. The smoothie bike challenge added to our goal to promote healthy living and be a friendly and supportive presence at the show as we represented the churches of Area 1, and shared God’s love in this practical and accessible way.
A big thank you goes out to our extremely hard-working volunteers who gave their time and love to serve, and our members across the area that have supported the ministry with their prayers and financial support.
