Local organisations are coming together to host a free men’s health and wellbeing event in Pendleton this March, helping men take a moment to check in on their health.
When and where will the event take place?
Let’s Talk: Men’s Health will take place
Pendleton Gateway, 1 Broadwalk, Salford M6 5FX
Wednesday 18 March
10:00am – 1:00pm
Using the theme “90 minutes for the match. 15 minutes time out for your health. Both matter.”, the event encourages men to take a short break from their day to get advice, health checks and support in a relaxed community setting.
Many men delay seeking help or are unsure how to access local services. This event aims to make it easier by bringing together local health and community organisations in one place.
