A town housing association is hosting two events on Wednesday, October 1, in recognition of the day in partnership with the Watford and Three Rivers Trust.

Watford Community Housing Trust is putting on a range of activities including Tai Chi, hand massage, card making and a sing-along with entertainer Victoria Sponge. 

Exhibitors are set to include Carers in Herts, Together Time Bank and the Community Police. Tea, cakes and refreshments will be provided as well as free travel. 

The events are taking place between 9am and 12pm and Holywell Community Centre and 12.30pm to 3.30pm at Leavesden Green Community Hub.

Partner organisations, including Age UK Hertfordshire, The Dan Tien and Watford Borough Council, are supporting the event and will be on hand offering advice on leisure activities and living healthily."

Vanessa Wright, community hubs officer at Watford Community Housing Trust, said: "It’s so nice to be able to give something back to the seniors of our community, their experience has helped shape our future and our lives wouldn’t be the same without them."
