SPARK Somerset visited key businesses and community organisations in Bridgwater last week to encourage residents to have their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Working in partnership with NHS and Public Health at Somerset County Council, Spark Somerset recruited the help of of Stefka Zradvokava, from Inspired Together, Kathy Pearce and Brian Smedley, from Bridgwater Town Council, to visit places around the own and distribute posters printed in a range of languages.

“It was great to get out and about in Bridgwater," said Helen Fielden, Covid community champion coordinator at Spark Somerset.

"Most people were really supportive and happy to stick up posters in their businesses. With more clinics open, it’s easier than ever for people to pop in and get their jab at a time and place that suits them.”
