Representatives from Stoke City and Port Vale Community Foundations will also lead interactive sessions.
Health and wellbeing exhibitors are set to include Parkinson’s nurses, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and social prescribers, plus other local health and care organisations…
