The invaluable contribution of older people to society will be celebrated at a special event in the Market Square at Pavilions Shopping Centre, Uxbridge, on Monday, September 25.

Timed to coincide with the UN’s International Day of Older Persons, on October 1, the drop-in event will feature music and entertainment, a local history display, story-telling and seated football. There will also be a number of advice and information stalls. 

The event will be from 10am-4pm and is open to everyone aged 65 or over.

 “This event gives us the opportunity to pause and take stock of all the achievements and contributions that older people make to our society,” said Cllr Philip Corthorne, cabinet member for social services, housing, health and wellbeing.

 “We encourage people to come along and get involved.”
