Visitors to Blackburn’s Islamic Lifestyle Exhibition in the UK later this month will be given a strong health and well-being message.

On Sunday June 22, the event is going to take place in Jan's Conference Center where cross-community organisation One Voice is bringing its award winning Baiter Sehat campaign.

It is sponsoring the Health and Well Being Zone at the exhibition to offer free medical checks.

Health stands include Macmillan Cancer Improvement Partnership, No Smoking Campaign, Humraaz, Deaf Aware, Refresh Health Check, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Bowel Cancer Screening, Elements Health and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.

Participants will be able to find information on organ donation, forced marriage, drugs and alcohol as well.

It is hoped the event, celebrating the Islamic lifestyle in the UK, will become an annual event in the lead up to Ramadan.

One Voice vice-chair Abrar Hussain said:“It is imperative members of the community receive vital information about factors that influence their health and well being.”

“The Islamic Lifestyle Exhibition is a great opportunity to spread our message.”
