A new women’s wellbeing fair in Andover has been hailed a success after bringing together local businesses, wellbeing experts and members of the community for a day focused on connection, positivity and support.
Organised by Team Thrive Support, the event on 14th May offered far more than traditional information stands and leaflets. Instead, visitors were welcomed into an interactive and uplifting environment designed to support women’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
The fair was captured by local photographer Daniel Ghita, whose images showcased the warm atmosphere and community spirit throughout the day.
A variety of local businesses and wellbeing providers took part, including RiseR Wellbeing, Yoga with Cerys, Tropic Skincare with Charlotte, Blossom and Essence, Resin by Becks, Herbalife with Trish, Kokoro Grove and Andover Trees.
Visitors were able to enjoy a range of activities throughout the event, including one-to-one wellbeing support sessions, yoga tasters, free hand massages, games and a colouring competition. A cosy reflection corner also gave attendees a quiet space to relax and unwind.
A wellbeing hamper, created through generous donations from participating businesses and others across Andover, was also available, while guests enjoyed healthy food alongside tea and coffee.
Founder and Director of Team Thrive Support, Vicky Randell, said:
“Supporting wellbeing in our community is so important to us. Our first women’s wellbeing fair was a real success and brought so many smiles and such positive energy.
“We’re passionate about continuing this work supporting women’s physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, and creating spaces that feel uplifting, connected, and full of good energy here in Andover.”
Following the success of the first event, organisers are now planning to hold the fairs every three months as they continue building a supportive and welcoming wellbeing community in Andover and the surrounding areas.
