Events in Bury - Meetings

A wide range of activities is taking place in Bury to mark International Women’s Day.

This year’s theme is “Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all”, and events have been organised by Bury Youth Service, in collaboration with partner agencies.

The aim is to encourage young women to participate in safe, fun and educational activities. It also encourages young men to gain a greater knowledge and understanding of why the day is celebrated. 

Saturday March 13: Bury, at the Elton Centre. Encouraging young women to plan their challenges, events and activities for the forthcoming year which will provide equal opportunities for all. This event will be running from 11am to 3pm.

Radcliffe, at Ellen Court. We are currently running a 12-week healthy lifestyle programme. During this day Dr Khan from Fairfield Hospital is coming in to deliver a session to mothers and new mothers around women’s health. The purpose of the talk is to educate women and empower young women to make a conscious decision regarding their health. Dr Khan will cover areas on parental health, breast feeding, breast cancer awareness, cervical cancer screening and sexually transmitted infections.

 

An internationally known author on angels will give a talk at Radcliffe Library on Thursday March 25.

Glennyce Eckersley lives in Manchester and has made numerous appearances on TV and radio.

She has collected countless stories from people across the world who have related their near-death experiences, and talk of being rescued by angels or being comforted and healed by them.

Glennyce’s extraordinary stories about angelic encounters are sure to appeal to believers – and maybe non-believers too!

The event starts at 7pm. Tickets cost £3 in advance to library members and £4 to non-members and on the evening (refreshments included).
