Oldham Event To Bring Together A Range Of Health Organisations

Specialist lawyers from national law firm Irwin Mitchell are heading to Oldham in the middle of August to lend their support to a major event promoting healthy living and the range of health services available in the area.

Legal experts from the firm’s Manchester office are set to join a number of health-related organisations and experts at Health-Fest 2017, which is being held from 11am to 3pm on Sunday August 13th in the town’s Alexandra Park.

The aim of the free event is to bring together a wide range of organisations which promote healthy lifestyles, with attendees being offered health-checks and the chance to sample a range of alternative therapies and foods. 

Taster sessions for a number of different activities will also take place, while there will also be live music, a surprise celebrity guest and competitions with a host of prizes.

Sharon Williams, an associate solicitor in Irwin Mitchell’s Manchester-based Medical Negligence team, said:

“There are so many great health businesses and bodies working in this region at present and we’re looking forward to joining them and the local community for what should be a fantastic fun-filled day.” Sharon Williams - Senior Associate Solicitor
