About Us

The Bay Health Festivals have one very simple aim: to create spaces and opportunities for people to have conversations – easy or difficult – with family, friends, neighbours, and with ourselves. We want these conversations to help us make simple changes that will have a big effect: rediscovering the art of living well.

Our Vision

Why aren’t we living as well as we could, given all the possibilities we have in society?

​

How is it possible to get out a message that we can make a significant difference to our health by making small changes to our lives?

​

The answer that we came up with, was to stop telling people that they need to change and start celebrating the fact that we can change.
