Barbados – 1 July 2025: The Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is set to host a dynamic and family-friendly Health & Wellness Day on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at the UWI Usain Bolt Track & Field in Barbados. The event is free and open to the public, promising an energising day of fitness, community, and health education for all ages.
As part of CPL’s ongoing commitment to promoting health and wellbeing across the Caribbean, the event will feature a wide array of activities, including fitness sessions, health screenings, nutrition demonstrations, and live entertainment. Attendees can look forward to workouts led by CPL’s fitness ambassador Spinny, appearances by Barbados Royals players, and photo opportunities with CPL mascots and the trophy.
Uniting community and health in true CPL style
The event aligns with CPL’s broader strategy to partner with local organisations to encourage healthier lifestyles through small, sustainable changes. A dedicated Wellness & Nutrition Zone and Medical Wellness Zone will provide valuable resources and services for attendees.
Dr. the Most Honourable Kenneth George, Chief Medical Officer of Barbados, emphasized the value of community partnerships in public health:
“Community engagement fosters stronger relationships with the public, leading to increased trust and compliance with healthy behaviours. It also helps us understand their barriers and better address them.”
Dr. George commended CPL’s efforts and confirmed the Ministry of Health and Wellness’ enthusiasm to collaborate on this initiative to improve health outcomes across the island.
Hayley Matthews champions wellness efforts
Hayley Matthews, West Indies Women’s captain and CPL Health & Wellness Board member, expressed excitement about the initiative:
“It is really exciting to be working with CPL on their health and wellness initiatives. I’m looking forward to July 20 as we celebrate the amazing sports clubs, healthy food, and medical support available here in Barbados.”
