Older Persons Christmas Dinner


I had the oppertunity to pop into the Forest Row Centre yesterday, which was the venue for Havering Councils Older Persons Christmas Dinner and Party.

Over 150 residents came together for the event, which was organised by Havering Council for those people that may be spending Christmas on their own, or have no family. A host of Councillors helped out, with one looking strangely like Farther Christmas, the Mayor also made a visit.


Although I was only able to stay for an hour, it was great talking to some of the older people that had come out for the afternoon, the majority of them were picked up the Councils own fleet of mini buses, a true door to door service.
