Age Concern Stourbridge & Halesowen invites community to Christmas Fayre
The charity's annual Christmas Fayre will take place on Saturday, November 28, at the Elton Centre, Stourbridge, with festive games, craft stalls and a visit from Father Christmas
Age Concern Stourbridge & Halesowen is inviting local residents to kick off the festive season at its annual Christmas Fayre this November.
The charity, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, provides support, advice, activities and companionship for people aged 50 and over across Stourbridge and Halesowen. Its aim is to help older people remain active, independent and connected, enabling them to enjoy later life to the full.
The Christmas Fayre will take place on Saturday, November 28, from 12 noon until 2pm, at the Elton Centre, St John's Road, Stourbridge, conveniently located next to the town's bus and train stations.
There will be plenty to enjoy for all ages, including craft and gift stalls, festive games, a tombola, raffle and seasonal refreshments.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet Father Christmas, who will be making a special appearance during the event. Slots are only £3 per child and can be booked by calling Kim on 01384 390065.
David Harbach, Chair of Trustees, said: "Our Christmas Fayre is one of the highlights of the year and an important fundraising event for the charity. As a locally funded organisation, events such as this help us continue providing vital services, activities and support for older people throughout the area.
"The Fayre is also a wonderful opportunity for local people to see what we do, explore our facilities and pick up some unique Christmas gifts, many of which are handmade by members of our own craft and art groups.
"We would love to welcome both existing supporters and new visitors. Come along, enjoy the festive atmosphere, support a great local charity and perhaps even find out whether you're on Santa's naughty or nice list!"
