The event, organised by Bolton NHS Foundation Trust and Bolton Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service, is set to take place on Wednesday, November 6. It is aimed at people in Bolton who are living with or beyond cancer.
The afternoon event will be held at The Bridge Church in Bradford Street from 1pm to 3.30pm. It will provide attendees with the opportunity to gain information about the support, advice, and facilities available to assist them in adjusting to life with and beyond cancer.
Carrie, 62, a former patient and now a volunteer with the service, said: "The health and well-being event is a valuable source of information for anyone affected by cancer , so we would encourage people to attend and get as much information as possible. "Sharing your experience with others and talking about concerns can help to alleviate a lot of the stress and anxiety associated with a diagnosis. "The information and support gathered at this event will certainly allow an individual to be better informed about services on offer, and how they can make a positive difference to their everyday life.
