The You+ Lifestyle Shop, based in Chelmsley Wood, is launching a healthy lifestyle mobile unit on Thursday 6 March in Mell Square, covering health issues as wide-ranging as stop smoking advice, blood pressure checks, weight management, sexual health, fitness levels, alcohol dependency, breastfeeding and mental health.

The mobile unit will then continue to Solihull Hospital on Friday 7 March, Arran Way Shopping Centre on Saturday 8 March, Jaguar Landrover on Lode Lane on Monday 10 March, the Asda in Chelmsley Wood on Tuesday 11 March and the Home Office on Homer Road on Wednesday 12 March.

Locals will be able to visit the mobile unit between 9am and 3pm at all venues.
