  • Speak to many of Hackney’s community groups, including gardening and health clubs
  • Eat delicious food and grab some refreshments
  • Have a free head, neck and shoulder massage

  • Learn more about recycling
  • Find out details on courses at Hackney College
  • Pick up some free fruit and vegetables available to take home

The Winter Warmer is a great chance for people to come together, learn some useful information on keeping warm and staying healthy, and see the wide array of activities on offer in Hackney for older people. I would encourage all of our older residents to come along, this year there will be activities as well as stalls, with something for everyone, so make sure you don’t miss out.
