Bristol area targeted by three awareness campaigns on health, care and air pollution in two days
A hospice appeal, a fundraising run and a new government coalition all launched within 48 hours are asking local people to engage with health and environmental issues.
St Peter’s Hospice has asked Bristol residents to take part in Wear It Blue during Hospice Care Week in October to raise funds and awareness, the North Somerset Times reported [1]. A North Somerset man plans to run 310 kilometres in 31 days to raise awareness of mental health and support a charity close to his heart, according to the North Somerset Times and Weston Mercury [2][3]. The Department for Transport published a policy paper on the Air Pollution Awareness Coalition, a cross-sector group it said will improve public understanding of air pollution and support action to reduce harm [4].
