A HEALTH and wellbeing event will take place in Ellesmere Port for people who have been affected by cancer.

This includes anyone who has had a cancer diagnosis whether they are recently diagnosed, undergoing treatment or living with and beyond their diagnosis and treatment.

Friends and family are also welcome to attend.

Organised jointly by the Countess of Chester Hospital and Wirral University Trust Hospital, it will take place at The Civic Hall on Wednesday, May 9, between 12.30pm and 4.30pm.

People will be able to browse the marketplace of stands and speak to cancer specialists, as well as attend talks on various aspects of dealing with cancer. Tea and coffee will also be available throughout the day.
