📢 **Health Network Barbados Directory Update 🇧🇧**

I’m currently updating the Health Network Barbados Instagram directory.

The directory has been running for around 6 years now, and I realise that some businesses and organisations listed may have changed, closed, or moved on since it was first created.

If you’re a **health, wellbeing, fitness, community or related organisation/business in Barbados** and would like to be included, please **send me a message or comment/like this post** and I’ll make sure you’re included in the updated directory.

If you’re already listed and your details have changed, please let me know too.

Let’s keep the directory current and make it easier for people in Barbados to find the services and organisations that are available to support their health and wellbeing. 🇧🇧
