The Event would have been extremely topical this week, with latest figures revealing that 5.9% of Year 6 students in Salford are obese (NHS Digital). There were a number of planned events and activities taking place throughout the day, including; free health checks, quizzes, walk, cycle rides and nutritional advice. All with the aim of promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Salford City Council have confirmed that the event will be rescheduled for a later date, and that those who wish to attend the day should keep an eye on the Salford City Council Twitter account.
