At the South Lancashire Regional Programme Action meeting on June 14th 2014 £75 was made in donations for cakes and scones made by SI Wigan and SI Leigh members. The money will help to fund the Local Osteoporosis Support Group.
Osteoporosis affects 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 leading to fragility fractures, loss of height and alteration in posture.
The Ashton, Leigh and Wigan Osteoporosis Support Group meets locally and has several Wigan and Leigh Soroptimists on the organising committee.
