BOOTS the Chemists have joined forces with the National Osteoporosis Society to raise awareness of osteoporosis among women, during June, National Osteoporosis month.

Boots stores are helping to raise money for the charity by selling cartoon themed badges for £1, and there's also a free booklet available.

Boots, Birkenhead, have a question and answer session at the store with members of the National Osteoporosis Society next Tuesday, June 30, between 11am and 1.30pm.
