PEOPLE in Dewsbury are being invited to sample fruit juices and smoothies at a health event.

The benefits of eating more fruit and vegetables will be highlighted when people at Dewsbury District Hospital and Woodkirk House, Dewsbury, get chance to try different types of fruit for free.

The Fruity Friday event on May 13 has been organised by North Kirklees Primary Care Trust as part of World Cancer Research Fund's cancer prevention week.

Research by the Fund has shown the risk of developing cancer can be cut by up to 40% by eating more fruit and vegetables, less fatty foods and taking more exercise.
