A PUBLIC tai chi session will take place on Monday, October 10 on the Town Hall lawn in a bid to help people across the town 'de-stress'.

The event, co-ordinated by Warrington Primary Care Trust (PCT), is part of World Mental Health Day which this year is themed around mental and physical health.

Led by an instructor, the session will take people through simple but highly effective moves for relieving stress and improving balance, wellbeing and joint suppleness.

There will also be a marquee with information about ways to improve your family's mental health plus complimentary therapists offering free hand, neck and head massage 'taster' sessions.

People are invited to attend the event from 11am onwards. The tai chi starts at 1pm for half an hour.
