Join Us for the Men’s Health Expo – 8 November 2025

POWA and the East Otago Blokes Shed are proud to host a Men’s Health Expo on Saturday, 8 November 2025, shining a light on the unique health challenges faced by men and boys in our communities, especially rural men, working men, and those who often put their health on the back burner.

This free, family-friendly event is open to everyone and offers a welcoming space to connect with local health services, access important information, and take practical steps toward better physical and mental wellbeing.

With free health checks, informative stalls, and engaging displays, the expo empowers individuals and whānau to make informed choices and encourages early action for healthier lives.
