About Our Foundation  |  Festival & Mission  |  Festival Schedule  |  About Manchester



The design of the Wellness Festival was based on a collective passion by The newly formed Manchester Wellness Foundation to take a creative approach to building a community event which will not only raise funds for the Wellness needs of the less fortunate; but also to build a community spirit around an event which will symbolically call for new levels of Wellness in its holistic sense; new levels of wellness in mind, body and soul; Also celebrating and giving thanks for the Wellness we presently enjoy.

An event that will highlight the vision of national wellness and its importance in magnifying the potential of the human spirit. The event this year, and hopefully for years to come must serve a multi-dimensional purpose. A purpose characterized by fulfilling these objectives:

- Exposing and highlighting Manchester as a Wellness Destination; exposing the varied services available which target towards a holistic wellness, of mind, body and soul. This embraces not only the varied medical and fitness facilities, but also educational and spiritual institutions. A destination for locals as well as foreigners to come and enjoy.

- Raising funds to support Wellness Facilities in Manchester; through the establishment of The Wellness Foundation, where funds can be raised and centralized, then dispersed to the priority wellness needs of our parish, such as giving assistance to persons who cannot afford health care or the upgrading of wellness facilities.

- Educate, Sensitize and Expose Jamaica and the parish on issues and practices relating to general health care, diet, fitness and all other areas relating to 'Wellness'.
