Sixty different stall holders will set up at the Marlborough Events Centre in just under a months’ time for the annual Marlborough Seniors’ Expo.
Ranging from the Red Hat Society, Falls Prevention and Te Whatu Ora Health NZ to Marlborough Indoor Bowls and the Blenheim and Renwick Menz Shed, there really is something for everyone over 65.
The Seniors’ Expo, on Tuesday 11 March, runs from 9am to 1pm and is free to attend.
Council provides this event to the community and this year Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors and Summerset Blenheim have generously come on board as sponsors.
Council’s Events and Community Partnerships Officer Natalie Lawler said while the Expo was aimed at the over 65s, it was open to everyone. “It is designed for the whole community to help create awareness of services and activities available for older people and is a perfect opportunity to get vital information for whānau and family members,” she said.
“Whether it’s helping our elderly to maintain an active lifestyle or meeting other people in a bid to reduce loneliness, the Expo can help, even if it’s just wanting to know where to access advice and support.”
As well as the information stalls, there will be music and light refreshments available.
