Empowering Women's Health and Wellbeing: New Fair Connects Women with Local Services in Leeds

A brand new Women's Health and Wellbeing Fair is coming to Leeds, West Yorkshire, aiming to bridge the gap in women's healthcare access and empower women to take charge of their well-being.

The fair, organized by Jan Ockendon, will be held on August 24 at 11 am until 4 pm at Heart in the centre of Headingley. The event has low cost entry and is open to all women in the Leeds area.

“We've all experienced the frustration of feeling unheard or dismissed by traditional healthcare providers,” says Jan Ockendon. “This fair is designed to create a space where women can explore a wider range of health and wellness options offered by fantastic local businesses and practitioners.”

The fair will feature a variety of booths showcasing local businesses and services specializing in women's health, including:
