"We'll also be celebrating the accomplishments of women over the years, as well as reflecting on their struggles."
Visitors will be able to hear from guest speakers including Dr Heidi Kerr, a specialist in women's health who will discuss the menopause and hormone replacement therapy, and Health Inequalities Specialist Jayne Burness, who will be sharing information about breast, cervical and bowel screening.
Recovery Near You will provide information about services for people suffering from drug and alcohol misuse, Aspiring Futures will share resources about mental health, education and reducing isolation, while The Haven will highlight support services for women and girls at risk of domestic violence.
