The South Ayrshire Wellbeing Pledge Showcase is an annual event held by the South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership. This event is an opportunity to learn about some of the fantastic work being done to help communities in South Ayrshire to start well, live well and age well.
The event was open to staff, partners, independent organisations as well as the public, it is a fantastic opportunity to learn, make contacts and get involved in the wellbeing of South Ayrshire.
The event follows a similar format each year with some special additional features dependant on the location of the event each year. Each year we have a main presentation featuring key stakeholders who discuss some of the key work being taken forward with a question and answer opportunity. We also hold a large marketplace area where participants can meet with organisations from across the area and network allowing for a great opporuntity to find ways of working together more closely as we move forward.
Each year we rotate the event around South Ayrshire to make this as inclusive as possible.
