About this Event
Under the Bonnet – Men’s Health MOT
A FREE men's health and wellbeing event in Swadlincote, South Derbyshire.
When was the last time you gave yourself an MOT?
We often talk about physical health and mental health as though they're completely separate. In reality, they're closely connected.
Stress and anxiety can affect our sleep, appetite and energy and may contribute to physical symptoms including headaches, muscle tension and stomach problems.
At the same time, illness, injury, pain or worries about our physical health can affect how we feel mentally.
Under the Bonnet – Men's Health MOT brings those conversations together.
Elysian Community Projects CIC, alongside Streamline Safety & Medical Solutions, is creating a relaxed, practical men's health event where you can learn more about your health, speak informally with professionals and access free health checks.
What can I expect?
The event will explore:
🧠 Mental health – stress, anxiety and recognising when something isn't quite right.
💪 Physical health – understanding your body and the importance of checking changes.
🌙 Sleep – how physical and mental health can affect sleep and vice versa.
🥗 Nutrition & appetite – how stress, health and lifestyle can influence eating and well-being.
⚡ Energy – understanding tiredness, stress and changes in how you feel.
🩺 Free health checks from qualified professionals
💬 Informal conversations without judgement or pressure.
🧭 Advice and signposting if you'd like further support.
An important part of the event will also be understanding why we shouldn't automatically assume a physical symptom is “just stress” and when it may be worth seeking further medical advice.
This isn't a lecture.
You won't be expected to share personal information or talk in front of a group.
Come in, have a chat, ask a question, get a health check, pick up some information or simply find out a little more about looking after yourself.
You can stay for as little or as long as you like during the event.

Suggested Eventbrite title for search
I'd actually list it as:
Under the Bonnet: FREE Men's Health MOT | Swadlincote
That gives you the branded event name plus “FREE”, “Men's Health” and “Swadlincote” directly in the searchable title, which is much stronger for discovery than simply Under the Bonnet.
