Young People’s Event 2026

 

It’s almost time for our most treasured annual open day for Young People which will be taking place this year on Tuesday 24th of November 2026, 10.00-3.30pm, at the Nowgen Centre, 29 Grafton Street, Oxford Road, M13 9WU.

This years’ event will be hosted by the Interim Trust Chair, Trevor Rees, and as in previous years we are planning some fun, interactive activities from several NHS Professions/Departments, including demonstrations from:

  • Midwifery

  • Medical Engineering

  • Pharmacy

  • Physiotherapy

  • Speech & Language Therapy

We’ll need some eager volunteers for the Orthopaedic Team – who’ll be demonstrating ‘plaster of paris’ techniques again this year!  As well as NHS stand-holders giving practical demonstrations and career tips, the event provides a safe space for young people to receive general health & well-being information from professionals who’ll be in our ‘looking after you’ area including:

  • The Youth Forum & Specialised play services

  • Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services

  • The Northern Contraception & Sexual Health Service (Healthy Living)

Please see this flyer for full information on the event including a map to the Nowgen Centre. The event is targeted at children and young people between the ages of 11-21 years so, please feel free to share the flyer with anyone whom you feel would benefit from attending.
