Quotes attributable to Mayor Councillor Danny Goss:
“The past year has demonstrated just how important social connection is, and I have no doubt that many seniors will be keen to get out and try something new after such long periods of isolation at home.
“I encourage all local businesses and community groups to consider how they can get involved and celebrate our seniors this October.”
