The second Community Games event, hosted by North East London Cancer Alliance in partnership with Inspire Activity, took place on Saturday 28th June in Haggerston Park, City & Hackney. 

The event drew a diverse crowd, with attendees keen to learn more about local health services such as social prescribing, cancer screening programmes and support from charities such as Prostate Cancer UK and Cancer support UK. 

In an action-packed event, local residents also took part in a range of free activities, which were a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to try something new and get active.
