“It’s been fantastic to see so many people come out and support the Penge festival fete,” said Gillian Fiumicelli, Head of Disease Prevention Bromley Public Health “Events like this are a great reminder of the power of community – and how much support is available on your doorstep. The Public Health Team has offered blood pressure and pulse checks, and other One Bromley partners have promoted their services, like SmokeFree Bromley, NHS App, Vital 5 checks and immunisations. The festival is always a great opportunity to join Penge residents and support health and wellbeing for all.”.
